I had this! I just got done re-formatting my machine! Not quite sure how I picked this thing up either! Doesn't matter now, please update your anti-virus and scan your PC! It says on Symantec web site said that it was low risk, but it dis-abled my internet connection! Not sure why I got it a day earlier, but my Norton was activated and told me this, then all the problems started!
