Hi Dick,

If you can send me the hijack I can look into it, this sounds like W32.Koobface.B look for these processes  
C:\Windows\fbtre6.exe or C:\Windows\fmark2.dat if they exist then remove this entry in the registry 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\"systray" = "C:\Windows\fbtre6.exe"

We got hit today with a trojan that is spreading through IM.  It

machine.

The symptoms are not always consistent but most have gotten a pop-up when 
the open a web browser which asks them to click to confirm they are a 
human and not a robot.

McAfee and MalwareBytes do not clean this; and we are rebuilding at least 
2 machines because of this.

Anyone else seeing this and/or have a fix ??

Hi Dick,

Let me know if you need an appropriate Facebook contact.  Do you have a 
binary or md5 thereof?
