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/
FIRST...
OK I did all the steps you listed. Bitdefender is running now. I will get back to you all when it is done.
(I went with bitdefender because Trend did not list it last time. Bit did and tried to remove it, but apparently could not because it was RUNNING. If Bit Doesn't get it I will try Trend)
