I googled and found references to blocking 'baddies' by creating
a 'hosts' file.
but not one word about how to get rid of a possible infection
from it.
I fought shy of actually going to the site itself,
["zviframe.biz"] for obvious reasons.

| I don't think people really read the description of my
problem.
| I can't use an on line scanner if the virus keeps me from
| getting on line. I tried Avast, AVG, Spybot, and AdAware
| and none of them found the problem with my system.
| I manually deleted the files that the virus installed on my
| system and it is now working without problems from the
| virus. The only problem remaining is that my computer
| still tries to download files from www.zviframe.com but I
| have it blocked. But there are resources being expended to
| continuously try to connect to that site.
|
| I requested that anyone google to try to find out about this
| site but nobody responded. I have since tried it myself
| but did not find any useful information.
