1/ I presume you have run a virus scan and various anti malware anti trojan programmes?
2/ Run A-squared anyway its as good as any and better than most. Run AVG anti-spyware or Adware if you haven't already done so.
3/run CC Cleaner
4/in spybot search and destroy at the bottom left hand side it says tools, click on that and it takes you to an option screen, double click on system startup, and it will give you all the progs that start up when you boot your system. It will tell you what are ok progs and what if any arn't. Whats required by your system and whats not etc.
5/ Having now cleaned your system as good as you can,if you still have a problem run "Hijack this" and get a log file of every running app. Post the log file on the hijack this forum and they will tell you if there is anything nasty, and how to remove it.
I know its a long drawn out process but the good thing is you will then have a nice clean system. You will have to delete your system restore and make a new one etc as well mate.
All the things I have mentioned are free mate and are good,so anything you haven't already got just download.

First thing I did was run A-Squared. I have AVG and Spybot and Adaware and a few other various programs. I've ran them all, save for AVG which has been disabled by the trojan. I'm not even sure It's still working. I ran a program called SmitFraud that apparently is meant to clean it out in safe mode. I ran that twice with no effect and it was designed to kill the f*cker specifically.
I know I shouldn't go near the registry, but I was looking for all sorts of solutions and had to go there. I know not to touch anything in there, but I had the path and correct name of the f*cker so I searched it out and found the entry and deleted it. Still no effect. I disabled it from my start up in msconfig also.
As for Hijack this, I'm not really sure what it's for as I've only used it a few times in the past. Isn't it more for a diagnosis rather than a fixer of things?

How did i kill it? A handy wee program called fixwareout.
A search on google can find it and its free.
All ya need to do is restart in safe mode....and run it, select clean registry..and it should do the business.
Then run trend micro-and that should be the end of it.
