I've tried every way I know how to remove this virus, but the computer is unstable and still seems to be infected. The nasty bugger seems to shut down real-time virus protection, and I've tried to get it out with both Avast and Bitdefender 2011 with no luck. I even tried an online scanner in hopes of stamping it out. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I should add that it is a relatively new Dell laptop running Win 7 Home Premium.
