| Hi David

| Thanks for your help but there was a problem with Sysclean: I couldn't
| download a missing file LPT$VPN.*

Stuart:
You didn't follow the directions proprly in "Trend Sysclean Method 1" so follow the
directions in "Trend Sysclean Method 2" as that simplifies the downloading and execution
process.
In addition, I have come up with the following alternate method of removing this infector...
1) Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)
Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Delete Files
Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear
2) Disable System Restore

3) Download Pocket KillBox
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/KillBox.zip
Extract killbox.exe from the ZIP file.
Execute; KillBox.exe
Click on Tools --> Select; Delete Temp Files.
Choose; OK
In the Full Path of File to Delete box, type the entire following line exactly
C:\Windows\REGIST~\cabplay.dll
Select; Replace on Reboot
put a check in the box "Use Dummy"
Click The Red circle and a white X
When prompted to Replace on Reboot, click YES
If prompted to Reboot Now, Click YES
Allow the PC to shutdown
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode and shutdown as many applications as possible.
5) Using your NAV software, perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any
infectors found
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
7) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any System Restore preferences,
(e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
8) Reboot your PC.
9) Create a new Restore point
* * * Please report back your results * * *
