Just a question about removal this rogue virus, do you have some workaround to restore file association ?  For example, after the removal the XLS files are not detected as MS Excel files...

Thanks Sandra.

I believe both are valuable posts now. One has an automated tool and the other one has step-by-step instructions for expert users.

Thanks sbertram for your info. In any case I hope will be developed some removal tool in the wild. It could help many users to kill this annoying rogue virus.

Not that i know of but  did you run any free online scanners.  One you can run is from Trend Micro called House call, link is below.  See if that cleans up the mess.
Good luck.
