A way to fix it:
If you have dual-boot or partition on your HD, just run malwarebytes scan on the partition, otherwise mount the drive to another computer and run a scan through that, you will have about a 0.01% chance of getting a successful scan on the infected drive

All Dogs should have a dual boot ability. It is child's play to set up.
Stops ... well.... any virus I ever had.
Don't know how effective it is for the rest of the world, but three times since 1988 I have had my "Root Directory" tossed out by a sneaky virus programmer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
I have ALWAYS used a dual boot system to cover myself. No damage ever done that a simple choice of which Dir to boot from saved the day.
Then it's just a matter of formatting from that 1 drive system and ALL the evil goes away. I have always used a external hard drive for all my back ups. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Point two; Wise men keep a CD back up of their most precious program files,photos, etc. If you can afford a few dollars more...
use a external hard drive to store the special things you would lose if you were ever attacked. Isolating the near and dear things outside your computer is a wise option. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
