    Follow RIKs instructions first but if you get stuck try running Hitman Pro (it's free for 30 days so don't pay anything!) and see what that does, download Hitman Pro from here......

    http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro

    Which version you download depends if you are using 32bit or 64bit Windows.

    Once you have downloaded Hitman Pro to your desktop hold down the Ctrl key whilst double clicking on the Hitman Pro .exe file to start it.

    I THINK THIS HAS DONE IT!!!

    It's cleared out the trojan and malware. I can now run some exe's that weren't running before. I'll reboot to be sure... will let you know.
