Tricky new virus

This new virus out there is really sneaky. We've all seen this *instant* scan that tells you your machine is infected. (Like it only takes 3 seconds to scan a machine right?)

This machine that I'm working on actually booted up and told me that a USB device has drawn too much power and should be removed. Since the machine was infected and was not connected to the internet at the time of my review, I decided to see what it would do if I asked the program to fix the issue. It brings up what has to be a fake window showing me *a* device with a warning. It doesn't say which USB device.

Among other things, my first big tip off was the fact that *NO* devices were plugged in other than power, VGA and PS2. Not one USB device there.
