I found a lot of the files hiding out in the windows\temp directory + had to delete them from there. The files are a lot more well hidden now -- named files were only found by spyware doctor + I had to manually delete the files.

thanks to shcvosj0e5c1.exe and Brett,
I followed the those directions, slightly modifiied. I rebooted so it would start its scan again, tracked down its icon and file name like you said, had to first turn off its processes through windows task manager in processes and only then could I delete it from searching through files on my computer. It seems to have piggy backed onto my hard drive with another one called "antivirus xp 2008". that's my new task.
good luck everyone

I am having a really tough time getting rid of this thing... i tried the directions above and also tried the spyware doctor program which proclaims it can remove this insidious program... Has anyone else run into difficulties??? Should i load the malware proctector 2008 and try to run through the above checklist again??? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thank you.

The most exciting part of this virus, after I finally destroyed, I think, is that I get to choose a new Wallpaper for my desktop, lol.

What a great site! Thank you so much for posting the removal instructions, and thanks to everybody who posted supplemental info. I got hit at work Friday when I was goofing around, and would have been in deep doo-doo if I hadn't been able to clear the problem with the help of this site. Now, here's something I can contribute that will help. I followed all of the instructions but, like several of you, couldn't get rid of everything. Here's the key: The file names seem to change from user to user; the software doesn't use the same naming convention every time. When I looked under processes, I didn't see shcev9j0e1b1 but I saw something similar, so I took a chance and deleted that. I also realized that my lingering problem files all had "ee3t" in the name, so I searched for those at each step and deleted them. That's how I got rid of the screen saver and warning message that wouldn't go away. I found three files in c:\windows\prefetch and three in c:\windows\system32. Once I deleted those, problem solved. Thanks again and good luck to everyone (except the scumbags who created this problem for the rest of us).

Thank you shcvosj0e5c1.exe SUCKS !!

Everybody follow what he did, i did exactly the same and it got rid of it finally after having it for about 2 weeks!

when the malware loads, go to process running and find the one that has the logo the same as malware- it should look like a red and blue badge?

and then go to Start, Search, all files put in malware protector 2008 look in local hardrive c

To follow exactly what he did-
His post is from June 15, 2008

I have tried everything provided on this list of instructions. Now I can not open any of my programs. When I searched "MSVCR71.DLL" it was attached to just about every program on my computer. As was "MFC71.DLL" Am I completely screwed???? Also when I went to the "Run" box and typed in "CMD" for the command box, it opened and then immediately closed. I have tried it a few times to no avail. Any help from you folks would be GREATLY appreciated.

This website[malware] uploaded itself on my computer yesterday, I believe it is a rogue company also who can do nothing but sell false help, I have reported it
to all the networks, my daughter said she had the same problem, called slayton
computer co. in charlotte nc and he finally got rid of it, it may take a computer co
to get rid of it, I cannot seem to delete it from my files,so I may have to call the above, I did not have a protector and that may be how it picked up on me, no matter how carefull I was.
