    If you are using Windows XP or ME turn off System Restore ( as that will replace the virus on reboot ) then use this online scan http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

    if you are clear then you can turn System Restore back on.

    Uninstall Avast and either re-install it or choose one of the free ones in the list Solaris linked you too.


    edit: Also get yourself a software firewall liek ZoneAlarm, Outpost or Sygate all have free versions.

    Missed the part of the post where it said you tried avast...sorry about that. AVG from the link I posted is probably the next best choice.

    Just uninstall and reinstall avast.

    if you are fit with avast, search for the forums first, there about 2049 threads on this topic. Perhaps a mod could pin a topic that shows which antivirus clients are good and bad and stuff.

    IMO NOD32 is the best,not free but worth it.
