Now the stupid BSOD screensaver is all that's left. I can't seem to find out how to get rid of it. It shows in my list fo screensavers as "blphcjh6j0e11l" but I can;t find a file anywhere on my computer with that name. Anyone have any ideas?

Wife had the infection last Sunday and we finally cleared it up Tuesday, following the advice given from this forum. Also, make sure you have the screensaver and desktop tabs in your Display Properties, ans antivirus XP 2008 is known to remove them.. Do a search on Desktop tab missing from Display Properties for instructions on how to restore them.

Create a new folder on your C:\ drive called FileASSASSIN and extract (unzip) the file to that folder. (Click here for information on how to do this if not sure. Win 9x/2000 users click here.) Open the folder and double-click on FileASSASSIN.exe. Note: If you downloaded the installable version instead, just double-click on fa-setup.exe* to install and then launch FileASSASSIN from the program folder.* Select the following file(s) to delete by dragging it onto the text area or select it using the (...) browse button. blphcjh6j0e111.scr <-- C:\Windows\system32\ folder Select a removal method. Start with "Attempt FileASSASSIN's method of file removal." Click delete and the removal process will begin. If that did not work, start the program again, select the file(s) the same way as before and this time check "Use delete on reboot function from windows." -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT.
