Yep, ugly is too nice of a word for this one *sigh*
Here is a link to a program I used last night to help fix my daughter's computer -
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malw...antivirus-2009
Also, if you do a search on "microsoft antivirus 2009" you will come up with some discussions as to how best to rid your computer of it as well. The above "bleepingcomputer" site was suggested at the microsoft discussion board and so far, has seemed to do the trick.
Good luck everyone!
