JoeDog, have you tried AVG free and Avast?

Keep in mind you can reformat the entire thing and hopefully that'll get rid of it. Full reformat. If in doubt repartition it, that destroys all data.

There are ways around a virus. The problem is being careful backing up your stuff so that you don't carry it over to the new install.

Yes try:

AdAware SE Personal
Avast
AVG
McAfee

Like Krusty said, you can always reformat, that *should* get rid of it.

I cannot game in the daylight. Period. When I do happen to get on I close up all window blinds, shut all doors, turn all my lights off.

i have the same keyboard but the red keys...

Joe simply reinstall windows bro it fixes everything. no need to pull away from AH bro. i would say if you didnt back up files and stuff like that before the virus then dont even bother backing up you dont know what the virus has attacked.hope it works out for you bro

Just reinstalling windows will not get rid of a worm/trojan. The virus is on the hard drive itself. Reinstalling windows will leave it intact.

Getting rid of it (if no AV can) involves formatting the drive, which destroys all data (virus or not) and starts with a clean slate. If you isntall Windows by booting from the CD-ROM and during install you choose to format, that should work. Just be sure to choose full format, if available. (if given a choice)

You can also access the Free Housecall link at TrendMicro.

I use PC Cillin Internet Security 2007 version. While none of them is 100% up-to-date, most will assist you if you have a problem. Virus protection is likened to the war on drugs. Every day, more and more arrive! Impossible to keep up with them. I got one searching for avatars on Google. Hope this helps clear you up.

Atleast you don't have the virus 'scvhost'. That one was a pain to get rid of. Updated AVG, Norton, and did a free virus scan with a different program (don't remember which one) and they all failed to get rid of it. Finally got it after 3 weeks, but it came back. Updated versions worked the second time.

Stop torturing us HT! Give us the new patch...
