Guys,

For this problem the solution is very simple, but for that you need to have latest registry backup of your system.Follow the simple steps:


1) Boot your system
2) Restore your latest registry to the current one ( I mean replace )
3) Restart your PC
4) Run fix for this worm.

What you do is you restore the rgistry values to old one which are changed by this worm and give time to run the FIx.

So always keep registry back up with you ..

Hope this help.....

Or even if you AV like Macafee ( with latest updates) will immediatly remove this infection as you boot the PC.
