Hi

I have had a quick look online but there isn't a great deal of information on this virus. What you could do is....

1. Open task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc)
2. Go to the Processes tab
3. Find sodoku.exe in the list and select in by clicking on it once
4. Click End Process (Bottom right)

You could then run an AVG scan and it may be able to delete it. :spinning

I fell out with AVG after it couldn't deal with a virus I had.

AntiVir Personal comes highly recommended. It's free and you only get one pop up screen just after it runs an update.

A colleague at work recommended it to me and he takes a keen interest in all things virus related.

Hope this helps

I'm a great fan of Superantispyware. I look after a total of around 300 machines and use it to great effect - saves me hours of work compared with some products which don't 'clean up' after finding them.

Download it from the link that Street Cry has posted and install it using defaults. Let the program do the updates and then run a quick scan. Once you have cleaned everything it finds, restart and then do a complete scan. If it finds anything, run the clean up again and reboot.

VERY IMPORTANT next step is to disable System Restore and run one more complete scan. Clean as necessary. If it has found anything after this stage, restart and run one more quick scan - it should now be totally clean and you can put System Restore back on.

I recommend doing the first couple of scans (even if the first one finds and cleans it). You can stop anytime the scan comes up clean.
