Comment:
I am running an 800mhz athlon using windows ME and I have a trojan horse on my system. The name of it is pphucker.c aka phineas phucker of which there is the .c extension and .s. I have used several shareware programs to try and get rid of it (Tauscan, Net Commando, The Cleaner, Anti-Trojan 5, and PC-cillin 98. So far the only one that will even DETECT it is PC-cillin. But it won't clean it. Every time I scan for it the trojan moves but PC-cillin finds it. However, I want to clean it but simply deleting it is not the answer. Generally it stays in the temp files though and I think it creates its own space there. When I look in the temp files though I can't find it. I'm running out of ideas please help.

This must be a real super secret virus this guy has. So secret that neither Symantec nor McAfee even have it listed in their database's.
