Need help: SVL 1.X and Windows Collaboration

    Hey everyone,

    This thread has been written to ask for some advice regarding the
    infection of my PC by the worm SVL 1.X .
    So what I've seen, it appeared harmless at first. But the moment I
    tried to de-install Skype, it activated, adding the feature Windows
    Collaboration to Program Files. I tried to remove it, but that was
    impossible, because access was denied. The only group with full
    permission was TrustedInstaller.
    The worm has also opened a backdoor in my firewall.
    I have now turned the feature itself off (Collaboration) , disabled
    most of the services that it depends on (because they were still
    running!) , and blocked most of the inbound connections.
    My question is now: are these measures enough? And is there a way to
    remove Windows Collaboration and all file sharing services altogether?
