tell them what's going on, what the virus is doing ect. those guys have helped me many many times.

they will usually ask that you download and run a program called HiJack this and post a log on the forum.

I got that virus before advast cleared it up for me. If you have not try downloading advast it's free and easy to use.

Try Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. If the installation isn't blocked it does a damn fine job of removing malware. Download the free version.

I recommend this too over Avast. This one finds more malware than any other I have tried.

I downloaded anti-Malware software that turned out to be Malware. I Googled it and had to download some OTHER anti-Malware to get rid of the Malware posing as anti-Malware and ended up reinstalling Windows four times.

I use Avast and it works pretty well. AVG is pretty good too, along with SuperAntiSpywareRemover. But if the virus is still there after all your scans I really recommend posting on that forum.
