    Phil is your OS XP or ME?

    if so disable System Restore > reboot.. scan again with your own and the online one just to make sure... restart and turn back on System Restore.

    hi rmbler
    some good advice given already
    but to be honest if your anti-virus removed it and everything came up clean then yes its probably gone ;)
    but if you are that paranoid the only way to be 100% sure would be to reformat and reinstall your OS :p
