Forum Rules

When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

I am trying to get rid of a nasty new trojan. I have already ran spybot and ad-adware 2007 but so far it hasn't gotten rid of it. They did stop IE from being redirected but there is a yellow triangle in the system tray that says you are infected and to buy their product. It is winantivirus2007 website.

I have tried to delete what I believe to be the bad exe but it won't delete. It is printer.exe.

I tried a system restore for the day before the infection but it did not work. I am now unable to access the display panel as is says I don't have the rights too.
