anybody know anything about this worm?

AVG keeps jumping up with the file wfrhof.exe file is infected. But that file is the virus/worm. It jumps from pc to pc and seems like it slows it down.

I see under task manager that a process called net.exe is running. According to the net, it is a standard windoze file with no harm, but before the worm came up, it was never there.

Another thing i see is that it randomly tries to goto certain websites on the net.

Doing a scan on avg comes up with nothing, but when it finds that file - or another one called ctfnom.exe(looks like its trying to act like ctfmon.exe), it says its a worm/Autoit.CKF. AVG's website or google comes up with nothing about the virus.

Any ideas?
 
Restart in safe mode and do a full virus scan. Also do a full scan with the free version of Super-Antispyware.
 
Well it took me +- 3 hours to move everything over, format, reinstall and move over again.

I spent the whole morning trying to find spyware software etc to remove it.

Would have helped if i knew about that site earlier...
