It appears this nasty peice of work is causing many issues. As I have mentioned in my previous post, at this time it cannot be removed and a format is necessary.
From my research The transmition of this virus seems to come from an infected movie type file. This file informs you you'll need a codec to view it, when you agree it infects your system.
When installed it injects code into running processes than hooks the following functions in ntdll.dll which transfers control to the virus every time any of these function calls are made.
* NtCreateFile
* NtCreateProcess
* NtCreateProcessEx
* NtOpenFile
* NtQueryInformationProcess
This vitro virus then infects every program you open. While good firewall and security software is essential to your online safety, they alone are not enough. Use caution when asked to download codecs or add-on's.
If you do get infected with this virus. DO NOT use previous backups. Perform a full clean install of Windows and your programs.
