I received this worm a few days ago. I think I got rid of it, but it changed
something with my logon. When I restart, I get the windows XP logon page.
It shows the three user accts. I set up. When I clock onto mine, it loads up
but it is not my acct. I mean, the background, shortcuts and everythiing is
gone. It starts up as if I have never logged onto this acct before, yet when
I look in explorer, I see my old acct and the new one. The old one is called
Janice and Verin. The NEW one (that I did not create) is called Janice and
Verin.MARAJ-M5G3ZYE7O

I now see that there is one called LocalService and NetworkService. I didnt
have these showing before. I am really really confused.

I would lilke to get back to my own logon with my shortcuts and stuff. I
can't access my email or anything.

When I go in as admin. I can't delete the new accts because they do not show
up as user accts. They just show up in explorer.

I hope this makes sense.

Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)
Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Delete Files

Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache { if you use FireFox }
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter {
http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } three batch files, five Kixtart
scripts, one Link
(.LNK) file, this PDF instruction file and two utilities; UNZIP.EXE and
WGET.EXE. It will
simplify the process of using up to 3 different Anti Virus Command Line Scanners
to remove
viruses and various other malware.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode. This
way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor’s web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Exit the menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file.

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE and/or
FTP.EXE to go
through your FireWall to allow them to download the needed AV vendor related
files.

* * * Please report back your results * * *

For when you're PC is all nice and clean again and you're sure that the
virus is cleaned out:

Which ever account you're currently logging into can be the old account that
you were logging into in all ways pretty easily really, take a look here:
