What ever the doc gives you, make sure you take the full course of meds.

Hello I got a virus that won't go away.

Yikes, I've heard of that one. It takes all of your sentences and makes them a grammatical mess.

Firewall and antivirus scan should kill it.

Can you isolate the infected file(s) and write them to a removable media?

1. google how to boot up in safe mode, write down the instructions

2. install a virus scan disk if you haven't already.

3. turn machine off, wait a minute, turn back on in safe mode

4. run virus scan

In addition to running an anti-virus software also try a good spyware remover such as one from this site

I don't know if you've tried some of the online scanners. But here's a couple that are pretty good:
Trend Micro Free Online Scan (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/)
Bit Defender Online Scan (http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html)
RAV Single File Scanner (http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/indexn.php)
Panda Active Scan (http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm)
I've tried the Trend and the Bit Defender. Both of those seem to work reasonably well. The other two I haven't tried but I've used RAV's email scanning for quite a while. Panda I have no idea about, but I did see some good reviews.
If the virus you're talking about is the same one I think it is, most (if not all) of these free online scans should be able to detect and delete the infection.
Let us know how everything turns out.

MD,

FIRST - you HAVE to DISABLE your system's restore feature - otherwise the virus will continue to restore at boot.
SECOND - you need to kill the running process associated with the virus. HijackThis is a good program to accomplish this.
THIRD - eliminate the virus by running TREND MICRO's virus scan from http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

If you need help removing, both McAfee and Norton maintain virus info and removal instructions.

Norton - http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html#threat_list

McAfee - http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?cid=10371

From these pages you can search their virus databases and get info on how to clean up you machine, and how to avoid infection in the future.

TDS-3 is one of the better ones.

What's the filenam? Most virus scanners will report the filename.

If it's Zip, exe or cab, the scanner probably can't remove the virus because it's one of many files in an archive.

You'll have to figure out whether you need the file and then delete it manually.

The other possibility is runninur scanner in Safe Mode.

NOD32

If that doesn't work, Save what you can and reformat/reload windows from scratch.
