Awesome little program. When it prompts you to reboot, do so normally...no need to go back into Safe Mode. It will then carry on and give you a log file stating what it found and what it did with it. I used this the other day where ewido and all others couldnt remove a nasty exe file in the TEMP directory. This program owned it and another 5 viruses previous undetected.

Well worth a try.
Try this fella.

I've been using it at work on VERY badly infected PC's (and i'm talking to the point the next step would have been a fresh rebuild)

Remember to start it off in Safe Mode. It was successfully where McAfee, Norton, AVG, etc etc weren't...
