    Hi oppy14,
    I got the same problem with the virus you described in your post from 20-Jun-2009, 07:32 AM referred to crash of IE and Mozilla. Also referred to Win32.brontok. I am not able to post on your post, because I am a new user, so writing you privately.
    I just killed this beast off my PC.
    The worm is clever, it is not letting you open a msconfig.exe app, so you will see the problem immediately. It also kills your IE and Mozilla, leaving you blind in your fight. You need another PC with internet access to be successful. Also, ADaware and Norton corporate security antivirus din't catch it!!! So, don't rely on these tools (at least for now)
    Here is what I did to get rid of this crap.
    1. Opened up a Windows Task manager in a processes tab and started to look for suspicions processes.
    2. Found one crappy process named orgwy448442.exe

    3. Killed it from Windows Task Manager
    After killing this process your Mozilla and IE will start working again.
    4 This is not the end of the story. Go to Sart -> Run and type in a box msconfig.exe. When tool will pop up go to Startup tab.
    There you will find the orgwy448442.exe entry.
    5. Uncheck the box in fron of this entry and see where the path is pointing to the actual file on a disk.
    6. Delete the actual orgwy448442.exe file from the disk.
    7. Enjoy your PC again.
    If this will work for you let me know through this post
    Cheers!
