Anybody see a virus that pops up a dialog box with a https://forums.windrivers.com/ in it everytime you try to run anything??
It also gives some funky spanish message next!

Is it because light travels faster than sound that some people appear bright until they speak????
It's either Navidad, or the variant.
The writeup is on Norton's Site. I'd post the address, but I'm having trouble posting the html.

Well, I found where it is loading, it is loading a file called wintask.exe in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\comand\ key.
I have deleted wintask.exe and restored this key to %1"%.....but does anyone know what virus this is, so I can research it to see what else I might need to do to insure this machine is completely clean from it?

well, after getting it clean enough that I could actually run programs, I ran norton, and sure enough, it was identified as the Navidad!.....Kudos to you KoWind7 !!

If I haven't seen a new virus, I'm shocked. Our customers, for the most part, are morons. Sell them NAV, and they NEVER update it. I check Norton's site every day to see what virus the next few systems I see will have.
