There appears to be a new Virus floating around that started up this weekend.
Instead of trying to get money from people, this one is set to seek and destroy, and appears to do as much damage as possible to a users computer.
It hides literally every file on the computer, both executable and data file. It causes the system to report bogus hard drive failure and controller failures. After 5-10 minutes, the system reboots itself.
Anyone know what this thing is, what it's called, and if any Virus company has come up with a stand-alone fix for it?
