Note: Had tried various external/on line scans to hope to route out this virus, scans included: Norton Antivirus, Bitdefender, Trendmicro, Panda and AVG. NONE of these other antivirus programs even picked up the virus. So as far as McAfee, yes, there needs to be a better antivirus program out there that not only can detect but remove the virus, but at least it caught the virus. Also, the reason McAfee couldn't clean, disinfect or quarantine the virus was because it embedded itself onto a system file, which needed repair before you could delete the virus.

Once the system file of winlogon.exe was repaired, McAfee got rid of the virus with no problems.
