1253949 2012-01-15 08:54:00 the rkill did the trick.
Good to hear it's sorted, and thanks for letting us know.
Wish more people gave us some feedback, helps everyone.

1253951 2012-01-15 22:25:00 I'd suggest Use 2 good antimalware programs and run them once a month. too many resident programs just cause issues and aren't as good as a full scan anyway.
In my experience a lot of malware comes from not being careful when browsing and can be avoided with a little care.

For example, any time a website claims you have malware or virus's (Virii?) close all browser windows and don't click yes to anything, run your own anti-virus / anti-malware software if you're concerned.
If the broswer won't close use task manager and force it to.
If any anti-virus software you don't remember installing tries to run, kill it! and use your own.
Basically treat all website based warnings and pop-ups as dodgy scams & malware unless you are sure of the site.
The hardest part - educating anyone else who uses the computer to do the same, tell them not to install anything or respond to any warnings without your say so.
