This sure is an annoying one. I'm not sure how i downloaded it unless it was hidden in a PK3 file I downloaded while playing Wolfenstein ET. Does anyone know how it manifests itself and how it gets into your system.

I don't know where I got it either, but has anybody downloaded and used these removal tools? I'm not sure I trust them either, to be honest, but none of the major anti-virus apps have scrubbed the damn thing off my system.
