Howdy folks!

Just got done cleaning one nasty one off my wife's PC.

Looks like it came from hijack of dailykos.com

Trail:
If you have these in C:\windows\system32:

hajutuki.dll
jihayefo.dll
tahalopu.dll
sumonibe.dll

Those 4 I had to clean out, winpatrol kept popping up asking to allow them to RUN
at startup and BillP's website had 0 info on any of them, another good sign they
are malware/virus. Look up winpatrol if you are confused. 8)

All 4 were read only, and couldn't delete even in safe mode, except 1 (tahalopu.dll)
I pulled her HD, hooked it up to my system, replaced all 4 with 3 byte files with attributes:
Read Only/System, so they won't be overwritten, and cleaned ALL the registry entries with the 4 files, once I rebooted with it back in her system, there were over a dozen entries total.

Her PC is now clean...

Oh yeah:
Looks like they tried to phone home to 82.98.235.206 which is in Belgium.
I have prevent in for that evil stuff also, fortunately. 8)

I ran my anti-virus scan on C:\windows (inclusive) and it picked up nothing, 8(

Forgot to mention this was via Firefox 3.5, we quit using IE, since about Firefox .92 beta.
