I was infected with this malware just before XMAS. I returned and executed some resolution instructions from bleepingcomputer.com (twice now) (registry fix, malwarebytes, etc.) Each time I run the fix, it appears to work, yet the malware keeps coming back. It’s now back a third time.
I’ve been running Avast for years now with total protection and am up to date on everything. Tonight the malware resurfaced AGAIN when watching a Youtube video and shortly after AVAST intercepted something.
Clearly what I’m doing isn’t solving the problem, so before I go any further, I thought I would send up a distress signal.
One other thing. I tried to activate my Windows Firewall this a.m. and that was failing, which I suspect is someway linked to this same problem. Whatever is on the machine is shutting down key services (?).
It would be great to fix everything. I’m anticipating needing to post some log files, yet not sure where to begin.

torrent download of a prior Howard Stern clip, thinking the P2P connection 'opened the door'.
Your on the tight track here. You must realize that any public P2P fileshareing is dangerous. I really can't understand why the younger generation of PC users really won't accept this. If one does P2P filesharing, they really have to "hardened" their system especially in the firewall and file access areas. Better yet create a virtual machine if you have hardware resources to support it and do your P2P stuff from the VM.
