    If the normal AV's aren't cutting it give MSE a try. If nothing else it's a good experiment

    First try ComboFix. It never damaged my computer.

    http://www.combofix.org/download.php

    You could try some online scanners - eset NOD32 v4 ... kaspersky ... panda active scan. I've had luck with all of those.

    Combofix will not work with Win7.


    This application is to be used by those who have been instructed in it's use and how to use it...it's not a 'toy' .... it's a serious application and can render your computer useless if you don't have guided help.
