i think this should be dubbed the suicide virus. just today i found the virus again as arnold Schwarzenegger committing suicide.
i believe i was able to save myself, even after falling for the osama trap, i was torn between suspicion and curiosity. curiosity won, luckily my sygate firewall (which is free, and in my opinion the best ive seen) was able to block the new generic host process 32 it started, and was able to identify the new service and , keep it from starting this is the start up item i remove from my registry, hope this helps others, i used "regcleaner 4.3"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Winsock32driver"="ZoneLockup.exe"
im still not sure if im totally safe though
if anyone else has more information please post it, thanks
