Rick:

Stinger only targets ~45 infectors and their variants. it should ONLY be used when you know
the infector is indeed one of the targeted infectors.

So since you suggested Stinger and the OP did provide a name to the infector, which of the
targeted infectors of Stinger do you propose is on the OP's platform ?
