Cripes that was awful!:x I don't know how this nasty virus/malware got in, I think it has been reported before, disguised as some anti virus software that was scanning my system, no matter how many times I closed it kept opening, tried ending task in task manager but kept loading, the file was either ryo.exe or yro.exe, I was too busy trying to deny access to the web, delete it, end task, but this thing was coming up multiple times, all I could do was quickly save my outlook express and hit the kill switch!!:o
Thankfully I had only just ghosted my system a few days ago due to index errors (having a good run!!:doh:), I noticed during this episode that a few blue shields with yellow and red colors were showing on the task bar!! Nasty thing! needless to say I am running Avira and Ad-Aware at the moment.:yep:
Who else has had this?:hmmm:

That doesn't sound like a lot of fun Reece :doh:
Here's a rundown of what it does:

Have you removed it? Scan results? Etc.

Yes, that is one thing good about Ghost, it rebuilds your drive down to partition level, I have checked my backup drive for virus' etc and deleted some freeware apps I downloaded to check my drive for security descriptor errors, just in case, all seems ok now, have also stepped up security level on Comodo!:yep:
