What is the name of the virus (what is the name of the .exe)? You can find it in the task manager.

Check the processes tab in the task manager, it should be there if it's running on your comp.

Get NOD32 Anti-virus. It's one of the best anti-virus programs out there, and uses very little of your computers resources.

I hope it helps.

1. Download HiJackThis - http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/
2. Run it (it's a running process analyzer), and make sure you create a log file (no need to install)
3. Leave the HJT window open
4. Paste the log file's contents here - http://hjt.iamnotageek.com/
5. Parse the log file's contents to see what fucked up shit you have running, and get rid of what it tells you to by deleting lines in the HJT window.
