The best thing for any virus that won't go away and isn't that harmful yet, is to save all the files that you want to keep onto a USB drive (like pics, important docs, etc.), nothing else. Then, completly whipe out your computer of EVERYTHING. THe easiest way to do that would be to run the start up disk again. It will move all your old files from the virus infected desktop to a zip file that won't harm the next desktop that you start up.

So save all the important files onto a USB drive, nothing else, run the start up disk again, and don't touch the zip file with all the other files and virus in it. Thats what I did once and it worked completly fine after. My computer eventually deleted the zip file because it noticed that it wasn't in use by any of the users. Hope this helps.
