@zetheraxza This worked for me:

Control-Alt-Del to get to Windows Task Manager. Everytime ave.exe popped up, quickly right-click it and End Process. You need one hand on the ENTER key to do it quickly.

You just have to be aware of the approximate time you contracted the virus so you know a good time for around when those files should have been last modified. And obviously if google doesn't know what they are they are totally random file names and therefore likely related to the virus.

Mine sole one for instance was named "0cmr8yf"or something like that. Can't remember the kind of file, but since google had never heard of it it made it easy to identify!

Cheers and thanks.

Ok first of all I understood you very well so screw the haters who are clearly just ignorant.

I thought of a good way to locate the random file names it makes. You go to the places that Symantec has listed that it makes them in, and you arrange the icons by modified with hidden files and folders turned on. Then you can see when the files were made making it easy to identify the bad (newest) ones. If you are hesitant to delete, put the file names into google. If no results come up, they're bad!
