   [snip]

   The virus also patches the NTLDR and WINNT\System32\ntoskrnl.exe files
   the similar way Bolzano virus does. The patched files are not
   recoverable and should be restored from backup.

   Disinfection of Funlove:
   
   Disinfection of Funlove requires removing the virus from all
   disinfectable files with F-Secure Anti-Virus and renaming or deleting
   of all locked or non-disinfectable files including Funlove dropper
   FLCSS.EXE file. To be able to disinfect or delete locked files, you
   have to exit to pure DOS and clean a system with a DOS version of
   F-Prot or AVP. Or in case of Windows NT, you have to rename the
   file(s) with a non-executable extension (for example *.EX1) and
   restart a system.
   
   In all cases FLCSS.EXE file and all non-disinfectable files should be
   deleted or renamed before Windows is started next time or a system
   will be re-infected.
   
   If infection is in a network, you could protect clean systems with
   F-Secure's Anti-Funlove utility:
   
   ftp://ftp.europe.f-secure.com/anti-virus/tools/antifun.zip
   
   and then disinfect all infected workstations separately. Note that
   GateKeeper/OAS setting should be set to 'Disinfect Automatically' when
   infection is in a network and it's not possible to take it down. But
   it is advised to take network down during disinfection as Funlove will
   try to spread from infected to clean systems via network. Our utility
   should stop it from doing that, but it's safer to disinfect when
   network is not functioning.
   
   Note that a system should be clean before the utility can be
   installed.
   
   Also as the virus patches the \NTLDR and WINNT\System32\ntoskrnl.exe
   files to disable NT's security the patched files should be restored
   from a backup."
