Which anti-malware are you using?

Saw this post by accident whilst looking for something else - I've had a problem for about the last week which I had been unable to resolve - decided to give Super Anti Spyware a go, it sorted it in about 10 minutes! Magic. Thanks for the tip.

If this does not work, try one of these: http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootab...download-list/

I suspect you have more than one nasty on your PC.

I trust you have made a backup of your data?

worst case isolate your documents (put it on a memory stick or hard drive) if you have a recovery disk, recommend you format it. then get yourself protected again, and then check the memory stick or hard drive) for any viruses or problems

this is an extreme and worst case option.. however for future thought if possible try and use an external harddrive where possible and not your local..

This may just be the push I've needed to bite the bullet and get a larger hard drive. I've been running 2 80gb, its about time I got a decent large drive. I've knocked my computer off for the night and i'm posting this on my phone. Thanks for all the replies so far, i'm quite lucky in that I backed a lot of my data to disc when I first installed vista so I haven't got that much to back up. I'll try and get it sorted, but failing that, I might wait and get MS7 as well as a new hard drive and put both in at the same time. ;)

And run this: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ to make sure you are fully patched.

I've already got Secunia, I'll try later to sort my computer, I'm at work at the moment.

I've tried all suggestions so far with no joy. I've downloaded one of the rescue discs from this site so watch this space. ;)

Try either asking the good folk at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ or performing a search there of the trojan you have for solutions.
