Help, can't get rid of the Trojan TalkStalk virus

[MayG]

When i run the trace scan on TDS it says in teh little box : "RegVal: Possible Trojan" but i can't delete those two. I've already gone through the steps to get rid of this virus by deleting b.exe files but when i run my AVG virus scan it doesn't pick anything up. but then a window will pop up saying that i have the Trojan virus TalkStalks.F When i ran Mcafee nothing came up. But whenever i reboot my computer my System 32 folder always pops up. Help please!!!

Have you tried this after booting in Save Mode ?

Few possibilities, AVG finding the "trojan" in System Restore, so you could turn it off and reboot, then turn it back on. This deletes any previous restore points however.

I would say there is a "system32" registry startup key which instead of starting an EXE file, it opens that folder. Just open the Autostart Explorer and delete those entries manually if they exist, which should look like this. You can refer to the alarm TDS gave about it to get the exact entry name

system32 = system32.exe

Turn on the options labelled SHOW (show services) and click SAVE, then email us and attach the file

Found these two discussion threads which you might like to look into, what and how others worked with it.
This does not replace Gavin's advice of course, do both!
