After receiving many complaints from people’s about this virus, I
finally decided to guide the users about the removal of this virus.
Some of the problems caused by this virus are :
1. Show Hidden Files and Folders not working.
2. My Computer Drives open another explorer window.
3. When you run a program, just in 2 or 3 minutes the program
dissappears (Actually runs in background but you can not see its window
in foreground).

Unfortunately, I have no removal tool to remove this virus at the
time of writing, but you will soon see one. You can try the manual
removal of it.
