AIMFix has been updated to handle the previously mentioned items. If you run the current version of AIMFix and it detects a known variant of the FU rootkit and/or the "lover.exe" virus, AIMFix will remove as much as possible, and set itself to run at startup the next time the computer reboots.

AIMFix should run if you reboot into Safe Mode or regular mode, and it will remove any remaining components possible. There were also some minor updates to logging and the profile cleaning. From now on if AIMFix removes a file, it will back up your existing profile to the aimfix_quarantine directory. You can use the quarantined profile to restore old information.

Quarantined profiles will be named in the following format: nnnn_info.htm.bak - where nnnn is any random number. ONLY quarantine files with "info.htm.bak" are profiles. Any other file is a suspected virus file. It is recommended that you open the backed-up profile in notepad or wordpad and copy the information, in case there is any malicious code embedded in the html of the profile.
