@Nick Sincere
I did not experience the things that you have mentioned. I think you are probably infected with other virus. Try looking for any clues. Look into the processes at the task manager. Try to identify any suspicious process that is running. Do a search at Google for it. See if there is any articles written about it that states it is a virus/worm.

I have opened task manager but have not been able to find the wndrivsd32.exe file, however I do get the bubbles picture on my desktop at boot up. I cannot find any of the other files mentioned in the fix however my computer does freeze up and crawl at a snails pace, and virus software programs are unable to be downloaded. Any thoughts, anyone?

@bala
The only file you need to remove from task manager is “wndrivsd32.exe”. Once you have removed this file, proceed with the other steps. You need to make sure that the “wndrivsd32.exe” file does not get regenerated and show in the task manager list because it is regenerated periodically. Some of the files mentioned in source 1 and 2 may not exist in your system (some of them did not exist in mine as well). Just delete those that are available.

TRY THIS LINK BALA

http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=96634

and you have to do BOTH steps and the part where it says

C:\Window\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts with an empty file.

this is where i went wrong..you have to OPEN the folder etc then open the FILE “hosts” it will ask you what you want to open it with..open it with NOTEPAD once its’ open there is all this weird wording/numbers etc…so do this: ctrl+a and delete it ALL then SAVE it after you delete everything….

just remember do do all steps…let me know if that works
