    That was probably the best solution.

    It sounds rather like vundo/virtumonde as this trojan goes for explorer.exe and uses random filenames.

    I would hazard a guess that it is either a badly coded variant or a screwed up installation. The reason I say that is the usual function of that family of malware is to serve up adware. Obviously it cannot do that if you can't get your PC to work properly.



    You need to ask yourself how you got it, as it certainly did not blow in with the wind............. it is a classic trojan for the most part.
