Hope developers are reading. I"m new, may be a DUP, but MS AntiSpyWare was
ONLY program that noticed what it called "virtuomondo" and what I'd call the
"winfixer" virus, since it takes up 100% of your cpu (explorer.exe) and
directs your browser to winfixer.com. I was thrilled. Clean machine and it
was the only thing it found, and CPU dropped to 2%! Some time later,
winfixer/virtuomondo REAPPEARED!! Ran AntiSpyWare again, it cleared out
registry and said it had deleted the WINDOWS/system32/jhkkli.dll. Later,
it reappeared. I could not delete that file by hand, so I wound up taking my
system into "safe" mode, and when I listed that directory, there was another
hidden file with a very similar name and that had been created about the same
time. So I deleted them both, and ran antispyware again - to remove registry
entries... And so far, so good - 2% CPU.

SUMMARY. MS Spyware spotted the problem where others had failed, but this
thing has a hidden partner that recreates it. I can't find the name, but
the partner in the same directory was jhhhk.dll or something similar.
