Hard Drive Diagnostic Rogue Program

A customer from my VT past wrote to say that her system had been infected by what I think is a new rogue program called "Hard Drive Diagnostic". I had not heard of it before. I see the folks at bleepingcomputer.com have heard of it and , no surprise to me, they say that the fix for it is Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, the free program contained in my base security recommended list of (free) programs. 

Should you get bitten by this rogue, I would recommend you start your system in Safe Mode and run a full scan using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
