Oh my - we had that a few days ago. Malware Bytes didn’t find it and neither did my updated McAfee software. We had to backdate to a restore point.

I wonder if there’s anything else I should do?

I was infected by the Vundo malware which looked like the one Conficker has on the screen.

I HAD mcAfee as well, and McAfee was NOT able to find it nor block it. I had to download the FREE Spybot S&D plus AVG free which was successful in destroying it. The McAfee subscription ended in February and I sent them a scathing review why I didn’t renew it.

I always have two anti-virus software programs just in case one misses something. I also keep two anti-spyware programs as well.

I always disable automatic download settings on my software; I want to be the one to initiate any such activity. Some good anti-virus (freeware) can be found at www.download.com.

I'm a little fanatical about this type of maintenence; I'll sweep everyday alternating software.

This is interesting, it was a link off off CNET.
