| | RE: Win32 help http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html The above is a very good free anti-virus. http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html With Spybot Search & destroy(the above link); download it, install it, update it ,immunize your system, and THEN scan your computer with it. If it does not remove it 1st time, reboot, hit F8, go into Safe Mode, and scan your system again.
