ODG Trojan any.exe file will not run

This rootkit virus is nasty.  Upon arrival, any .exe file would not run.  The work around was to open for instance, malwarebytes.exe.  The standard "choose program to open this with dialog" comes up.  You have to browse to the original file, ie, malwarebytes and then it would open.  Annoying, but effective as most people wouldn't know to do this.


Once again, ONLY NOD32 detects it.  SO does GMER rootkit, but ONLY combofix removed it and it's not fast, it took about 30 to 45 minutes to get combofix to complete remove it.
