Here is another more thorough description. http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_139473.htm

another difficulty is that, even after RUNNING the removal tool and having what appears to be a clean system, if there is a single infected file, running it will simply reinfect everything else- so as far as removing it, it's all or nothing, which is why reformatting/reinstalling is the only way to be assured it's gone.

Yeppers, polymorphic. A real B*tch!

A scanner just can't isolate them fast enough before it GRABS hold of another file.OK here is where I am now.

I ran all of the software you two suggested and REMOVED even more problems. Since Avast seemed to have a good idea of what the virus was I decided to download and install their Professional version of Anti-Virus software. It rebooted the system and ran a scan before windows starts so that nothing could be running except for it and the kernel.

Upon running it found more Virut and added to the mix JunkPoly. After doing some searching on JunkPoly I found numerous accounts of people researching that problem to IP addresses in China. So I am figuring that CHINESE IP I was connected to was PART of this virus.

The scan is still going. It scans all of the drives and my USB drives are over 300 gigs each with one being filled.

As far as windows updates go, they install now without incident.

Once Avast is done running I plan to run it again and recheck for virut. If it is still finding yet more of it, I will format. The biggest problem is that my USB drives contain backups of all of my data and lots of executables on them were infected. So now I think I will have to delete everything with .exe and perhaps even .dll and go from there.

Thanks to everyone that has helped thus far!

All seems well.. But for peice of mind I will be formatting the HD and deleting all of my software from every drive. I don't feel like doing this all again after I finally do get my PC completely set up. I did get a lot of good info and am confident this type of infection won't happen again for me.  I also got a lot of links to some great software I plan to install as soon as my PC comes back up.Install a good firewall also. Comodo is very good and free.
