There are others that are either not detected or dealt with by the most popular virus and adware/spyware tools.

I have one critter on a laptop that has added an additional extension of .lnk to all shortcuts on the desktop, rendering them inoperable. It also deletes the Windows Explorer link so you have to go to Run and execute through there.

Best I could get was a virus called Adulent or Pirus.lnk...FProt is the only software that recognizes it but says it can't remedy at this time.... lol
