| Well People, This is the origional poster of this thread, I managed to
| defeat this virus without any special formating or anything like that. Since
| I could not use CTRL ALT DEL I could not get to the task manager. And it
| would not let me open anti virus software. I used a program called The
| Altimate Troubleshooter It was unknown enough that the virus did not know
| about it. I analized all the processes and as it turned out it was the
| msmbw.exe process that was reponsible for not allowing me to run certain
| software. I terminated that process imediatly.I then googled it and found
| out it was associated with the W32/Croc.worm virus or with the alias of the
| Fatso.a worm. It came through the MSN Messenger, so I uninstalled that. Then
| I uninstalled the MSN Messenger and a bunch of other adware programs. I went
| to the startups section of Altimate trouble shooter and prevented all
| associated programs from running at startup. I then ran AVG and found over
| 35 instances of viruses mostly the Fatso worm. also the PSW.perflogger.ca
| trojan and the Swizzor.XW key logger. I went to the folders where the
| programs were located and manually deleted them. Also AVG got rid of many
| more locations then I could possibly find. I then ran Adaware again and it
| needed to scan again on the next reboot to get a few more. All this was
| possible because of The ultimate Troubleshooter wich allowed me to kill key
| processes associated with these viruses. I was then able to run the software
| necessary to clean the Hard drive. And Norton Anti Virus was useless so I
| uninstalled it.. I win Again.
