ah win32 trojans always fun...........since u know the name and path u have alot of options.

1. restart computer press f8 select safe mode, log in under admin..find file and delete it or rename if u cant delete it.

2. u might want to look into better av protection, best on market right now is nod32 for 39 bucks a year..its well worth it..

3. u can download a trial version of nod32 at www.nod32.com


if u still need help just repost.

Since you haev Win Xp you have to disable-re-enable your system restore or it will come right back at you:

NOD32 is an excellent system, if you are going o pay for an AV then this is worth it, I use it btw, also you can try it out for free for a month.

Also if this trojan comes back:

Use these in order:

Trojan Hunter trial version:

Trojan Scan:

SWATIT:

also, if you are using the Xp firewall, m'self I wouldn't use it. If you do not have a firewall or want a great free service, I use:

Free Sygate firewall:
