I've just had to rid 2 of my computers of a nasty virus that my antivirus couldn't delete. Download DrWeb from http://www.freedrweb.com/ and run it in safemode. It deleted all traces of the virus and got my drives all working properly again. Highly recommend it.

First thing I would try is to download Microsofts "Malicious Software Remover" and see it it will fix the problem. I only suggest Microsoft because it is free. There are other scan my computer programs available but the normal operating mode is to do the scan and then try to sell you the software to remove the junk they detect. This one is free and will remove what it finds at no cost.

Good luck

MS MSR is one of the most worst one according to several researches! CureIt is free as well and if you do a search at TV for post with CureIt you'll find out that it has some advantages other software don't have incl. MSR! It don't use any resources while it not runs because it didn't install in windows, just place the executable there. the EXE is protect as well and couldn't be altered but MSR could! Best result is if run in Safe mode. And you don't need to be on the Internet while scanning "online" which requires a full load of Windows and not the Safe Mode only!

Cheers.
