That one's a real stinker, apparently. The owner of a blog I read got hit with it last week. Wrestled with it for a whole weekend. Used StopZilla to get rid of it, I believe. Do you know about this? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline http://tinyurl.com/6pmzfpy I think you need to have access to a clean computer to create the boot device necessary to use it, but it looks like it would be a fairly quick, simple process you could accomplish at a friend's house. See the FAQ link at right for additional info. This has just recently been released, I believe, and it sounds as though it's designed specifically for evil crap like what hit you and this blogger. The blogger's story scared me, because I use what she was using, Microsoft Security Essentials, on my new Win7 machine, and it didn't catch the little bastard. So I did some quick research. One bit of advice I read: The instant the pop-up first appears, DO NOT try to close it, but immediately hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up Task Manager. If you kill the process right away, it won't have time to download and install itself. That makes sense...but how do you know which process you need to kill??

Don't understand this at all. "In the environment" as opposed to...?
