Even though I have Trend Micro AntiVirus and SpySweeper running, I somehow got a virus called "HTML FUJACKS.EO". Can somebody please help me if you know how to get rid of this thing? It also appears that its infected my antivirus and spysweeper programs. When I run trend micro, it tells me that this virus is in C:/Windows/Temp and then some numbers and letters after it followed by some dollars signs. It will look something like C:/Windows/Temp/f904949.$$$. I deleted everything in temp, and it appears that it makes its own files in there. When I run trend micro, I have to shut my computer down because it wont stop popping up on my screen that a virus was found. I click "close" and a new one shoes up instantly and it pops up again during the virus check. I downloaded and ran SuperAntiSpyware in safe mode and it showed some of my trend micro files were infected. If I run spysweeper, it doesnt seem to find anything and performs very oddly. It checks one folder such as C:/Documents and Settings, then checks another such as C:/Program Files...but then goes back to check Documents and Settings after every other file. Keeps bouncing between folders. ...I am afraid of it stealing information. I dont know if its capable of doing that just from searching files on my computer, or if it would have to trick me by redirecting me to a fake site, but Im mostly worried about it stealing information from my computer itself. If you dont know about this virus or how to stop it, can you please let me know if you know of any way to safeguard files?
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

What you need to do is add the infected drive as a slave to another machine.

This way the infection does not fire up and you can easily delete said infection.
