Hello, first time here.
I'm from Switzerland and I went throught all the french forum without getting an answer so, maybe I'll get lucky here !

My computer is infected with a spyware named CTV.EXE with a random number, for example ctv2335.exe which
keep changing every time CTV.EXE appears.
AVG informs me of its presence, erase it but it comes back every 15 minutes. Deleting it in the folder :
"documents and settings\local settings\temp" doesn't help at all. It keeps coming back.

I already spent a day with many anti-spyware software but they do not detect anything. Only AVG (latest version
9.0, commercial) seems to detect it but it does not erase its source.

Any advice ?
Thanks
