That's all I know to call it. It's what Avira caught trying to run while I was afk for a moment...I tried to get Avira to see what it was, but my computer was unresponsive. I CTRL + ALT + Del. and find about 20 programs labeled "At-.exe" running. the hyphen represents the changed letter...I killed power to my computer to stop whatever it was, and when I tried to reboot to kill it with Avira, I cannot boot. It starts normally, and acts like it's booting, but at the point in the process where it should display the Windows XP logo/loading bar, there is just a black screen. I created an Ubuntu boot CD hoping to run Avira from there, and I can't figure out how to get Ubuntu's Avira to scan all the files on my computer. It just scans the Ubuntu directory...

I need to figure out what I can do from Ubuntu to remove this thing from my computer. It copied itself several times in the USERNAME/Local Settings/Temp folder, and I found one in the Windows/Temp folder...

Is there anything I can do, or am I doomed to have to format 3 hard drives and almost 300GB of data to make sure it's gone?
