The only option left me was wipe out the my hard disk and reinstall from the scratch.

Now the performance is much better.

This virus seems to be a dangerous one, it had disabled task manager, registry, folder options and don’t know what other things it had blocked.

I have a similar virus in my machine which has the following description:

The icon of these files are EXCTLY like Microsoft Windows MS Word type

Icon : MS Word
Type of File: Application
Description: Microsoft Office Word
Size : 1.80 MB
Size on disk: 1.80 MB
Copyright : Copyright © 1983-2003 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Language : Language Neutral

This virus has disabled Task Manager and Folder Options. It is slowing down all my work and it has spoiled my pen drive too.

I formatted by pen drive but the virus is still there and could not delete it yet.

Is there any fix that I can have to avoid all these problems??? I have Avira Virus Scan but it does not recognize as a virus.

Need Help!
