I have a virus/maleware that keeps coming back even after it is removed. It is c:\windows\system32\2.exe Malewarebytes calls it backdoor.bot Spyware Terminator identifies it as Trojan.PS.Agent-w32IM. At any rate, both detect it and remove it, but it comes back. Other programs such as SuperAntiSpyware full version or Threatfire don't even detect it, neither does Symantec AV. Any ideas on how to get rid of it short of reimaging my computer? I have turned off system restore and ran scans in safe mode.
