    Did you get to run any of the tools in the Read and Run Me first procedures? If so can you attach the logs?

    If you definately have a sality infection then it is not good news.

    In the majority of cases, the only way to remove this infection is to reformat and reinstall Windows. Please review the following articles by Microsoft and Symantec about this infection and ways to attempt recovery.

    Note: If you do attempt to back-up your files and reinstall windows, do not back-up any any executable files ( and note this does not mean just exe files. It means anything that could be considered a binary executable like .com, .dat, .dll, .avi, .mp3, .mpeg, .msi, .pdf, and the list goes on ) just one infected file could respawn the problem!

    Also any writeable removable media you have put in this PC may be carrying the infection
