Malware Bytes and AVG Free edition. They are the best 2 things to team up together imho and I have used them the past 5+ years without a single virus breaking through. If you are having issues with your program finding it, you may have to uninstal and reinstal the program. I had this issue once with my AVG when it's main frame was hacked by the virus. A simple re-instal allowed AVG to find and destroy the virus.

This sounds terribly familiar. :| I'm a seasoned virus fighter, but I'm sorry to say that when I encountered a virus like this one, I finally lost a fight. The hard drive with said virus is rotting in the other room because I'm afraid to touch it anymore.<br /><br />Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? That will tell you whether you have the one I got or not. My nasty virus rewrote the boot sector of my drive - something <i>I</i> don't even know how to do - and I couldn't boot into Safe Mode. I've gotten rid of several viruses by booting into Safe Mode, running MBAM, and then all was well. Running MBAM while not in Safe Mode doesn't always work. Honestly, I've never found a program more effective than MBAM.<br /><br />Because parts of my Registry were rewritten, I remember seeing suggestions on Google to run Windows Recovery. You can do that off the Windows CD, and if I remember, it shouldn't affect any files on your hard drive. Y'might want to look into that. On a side note, to get really specific Google search results, type in quotation marks some of the exact text the virus is giving you in error messages etc. You'll find plenty of technical forum threads with steps of advice.<br /><br />When I purchased my new computer, Best Buy recommended Kaspersky Anti-virus. They say it's one of the best. I haven't had problems so far, and Kaspersky never annoys me like McAffee would... so worth looking into?<br /><br />I hope some of this was helpful. :|
