Acronis True Image 2009 Home 2008-11-24 Build #9646:
* Added a Network Device Access Storage connection wizard to the media – (NDAS is a hardware device interface that directly connects to Hard Disk Drives – making these disks accessible on the network, as though they were connected to a file server)
* Fixed backup to DVD from the media
* Fixed VSS (Vista Shadow Copy Service) data not being preserved after Vista restore
* Fixed backup sort order
* Fixed validation not working when backing up to DVD when done from media
* Fixed unnamed backups on the Acronis Secure Zone when done from media

* Fixed timer incorrectly showing time remaining value after being minimized
* Fixed automatic consolidation being available for full backups
* Fixed T&D progress during the apply operation
* Backup Policies (Rotations) – (back by popular demand from Acronis True Image 11, Rotations makes it possible to customize archive chains and automatically consolidate or delete outdated slices! This set and forget feature expands on the functionality of its ATIH 11 predecessor by adding the ability to automatically consolidate slices.)
* Revamped Vista style Clone Disk Wizard – (now cloning your disk is even easier with the newly refurbished Clone Disk Wizard – all that’s needed is a couple of clicks!)
* Revamped Vista style Add Disk Wizard – (also revamped is the Add Disk Wizard. Adding a new disk has never been easier.)
* Support for 23 new applications for application settings backup (see Release Notes)
* Archive Ratings – (now you can rate your favorite archives on a five star scale!)

I am now cleaning my 8th PC of this nasty little virus for folks. For those who have not run into this thing just Google it. My observations based on these 8 removals:
1 – All 8 machines were running XP.
2 – 6 of the 8 machines were still on SP2.
3 – 7 of the 8 machines had an EXPIRED AV program.
4 – None of the 8 computers had an image (Acronis/Ghost/etc.) to restore from.
BleepingComputer has a decent guide on how to remove this:
How to remove XP Antispyware 2009
BUT, I have some tips to improve on the above guide instructions. This is the only method I have found to remove everything.
1 – The first and most important thing. If you entered your credit card info in one of the pop-ups, call your credit card company immediately!
2 – As per the above instructions download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware. Then go here and download SmitFraudFix and print the instructions.
2 – Disconnect the target machine from the internet and install Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware. Reboot into Safe Mode and run a FULL SCAN ON ALL DRIVES. Quarantine and then remove the files it finds, then reboot.
3 – Install and the run SmitFraudFix as per the instructions.
4 – Connect the target machine back to the net and update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware. Reboot into safe mode and do step 2 again.
That should do it.
Now, PLEASE, download and install an AV program and run a complete scan. Then fully update Windows.
