i have been trying to remove this trojan for a week, i have already used the Spy sweeper, Ad-ware, Spybot, Spydoctor, and the latest version of CWShredder. It removes at first but the problem comes back as soon as it is removed.

Also it doesn't allow me to login into my hotmail account.

Any help will greatly be appreciated. THX

You should get rid of Spydoctor, it's a
rogue program...Rogue Anti-Spyware
unless you meant Spyware Doctor, which is
legit.

Disable system restore & run the other scans
again. Re-enable system restore.

Spyware & viruses tend to hide out in the
restore folders, the only way to purge them
is to disable it temporarily.....

Disabling or enabling Windows Me System Restore
