I have encountered a virus on three systems in our office it appears to be a new varation of the Gaobot blaster.exe trojan. Its called Penis.exe. I was able to finally get two of the three back up by deleting the files manually and then deleting the registry keys as well. However the third system when booting up after login takes approx 30 mins to get a desktop and after that any program you try to open takes approx 10 mins or longer to work. Any suggestions on something I am missing? Has anyone else encountered this virus? Sad part is after working for over 5 hours with Symantec they were clueless to this new varation and unable to offer any real assistance other than reformat harddrive. Thanks for the help.
