try this trojan remover program:

I've downloaded that before installing all my antivirus programmes and it still doesn't work.

Regards

try doing a scan from the boot disk(s) to ensure that the trojans/viruses aren't resident in memory. This will prevent them from restoring themselves after deletion.

Hope you made some rescue disks.

That virus is a bitch. Even if you remove the files it's still there, the only real solution is to backup your data, format and re-install. A customer of mine had the exact same virus and it caused a LOT of network related problems even when the files were removed. Good news is it only infects windows files, so your docs etc should be fine.

But I have a question - by formatting, do you mean right-clicking the C:\ drive in "My Computer" and selecting formatting, or installing windows on D:\, booting from D:\, and then deleting C:\ completely, and then re-installing on C:\?

(Confusing, i know)

U can try another prog named Trojan Remover-dont know the company though-which is fairly good,and if that doesnt work u can also d/l
Ad-Aware Plus which rulezz
trojans suck
big time

mIRC is a Internet Relay Chat program. Its very useful in getting music or music videos or whatever u like to dl. The only thing is u have to know the right network and channel to go in. You probably hate mirc is your situation. Don't know much about viruses except that my virus scanner gets rid of them all... well to my knowledge it does.....

wish i could help ya... sorry

I NEVER use MIRC. Till this day I still don't have a full idea on how to use it.

Thanks for suggesting those programmes, but it's not removing the MiRC programme from the startup.

I guess I'm going to have to format my hard drive or something... and reinstall windows.

I might just rid myself of this computer and get a new one, but I still want to fix it up first.

Regards

I didn't really check, but do any of them allow you to create a startup (floppy) disk?
Trying to clean a computer that's already infected from the Hard Drive might not do the trick (especially if it's memory resident).
You'll clean it and it'll be right back after you're done, which is what you could be seeing.
A startup disk would be the answer and if worse comes to worse, a format of the drive.
