This was posted previously to queries like yours. I did not do the ethical hacking to track the bad guys. Kid genius (my teenage computer-service-administrator-wannabe nephew). I’m posting what my nephew wrote for someone else who was experiencing hard drive difficulties. Pleae excuse his text messaging lingo. “hi im the genius kid and wat you have is a trojan that is not detectable by antivirus. Now before i say anything this program from what I have looked at it can install it self under several process names that run on ur computer. The two it uses are svchost.exe and explorer.exe. But they look like this, svchost..exe, or explorer..exe (notice the double periods). Now to get rid of it follow this file path WINDOWS/system32/ it should be in that folder. DO NOT DELETE A FILE THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS - svchost.exe or explorer.exe. Look for the file that has the double period. Oh and by the way I am seeing if it runs under anything else, so if u cant find it then it is installed under something else. if u need more help just ask for Kid Genius” As his aunt I’m torn between gratitude and horror! I sure hope this answers questions and helps all of you.

Thanks for the warning.

Nothing done, being done or will be done by the Obamination thugs to our computers and live people will surprise me.
