I've seen 2 Newer versions of this in the past 2 weeks. The first prevents booting into safe mode (You just get a blank screen), but it can be bypassed by booting into "Safe mode with Dos prompt", then typing "Exit" which puts you into normal safe mode.
The second causes the system to reboot if you attempt to boot in any Safe mode. The only way around it is to boot from a CD or USB

We have a user with it now but none of the above information is correct. The is no random data in the locations listed, no registry entries matching the above. Running a full scan ( McAfee) found 3 exploit traojans but has not fixed the issue.

Here's the fix. Download McAfee Stinger to a USB Stick. Login as the Admin rather than the acount holder, the virus runs from the users profile. Copy the stinger to desktop and run according to the instructions. I was unable to turn Recovery off as it directs (Corp Policy Restriction) but it did not seem to be a problem. The virus executable will be embedded in the users appdata temp file area and will also be disguised as a file for another application, Skype.dat in this case.
MBAM should also work from what I've read.
