 Ah, I've had this trojan. Cleaned it with McAfee. Best thing to do, is download McAfee Virus Scan Profffessional, and scan your files. It dletes or quarinines any file without warning.

 www.download.com - get "Panda Antivirus Platinum 2005" - that'll fix it.

 Here's what you should do:
Symantec Security Response
 
The following instructions pertain to all current and recent Symantec antivirus products, including the Symantec AntiVirus and Norton AntiVirus product lines.

  1. Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).
  2. Update the virus definitions.
  3. Restart the computer in Safe mode or VGA mode.
  4. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as Backdoor.Trojan.
  5. Reverse the changes made to the Windows registry.
  6. Windows 95/98 / ME only: Remove any references to the infected files that have been added to the Win.ini and System.ini files.

For specific details on each of these steps, read the following instructions.

Gotta be kidding. MCAFEE SUCKS.


Get Kaspersky. Has the highest virus/trojan detection rate: 98.6%

And it doesn't hog resources.

Download Hijackthis.[google for it. can also be found in D-load.com]

Scan and make sure you copy the contents of the log-file

Go to the http://hijackthis.de/forums and post a topic in the English Support.

Do the steps prescribed.

Ask me if you don't understand any instruction.

 the scans SHOULD tell you what file the trojan is located in. it will most likely be a .dll or .exe file seeing as those can be queued on startup.

if its an .exe,there is a good chance its going to be self replicating. >.< i hate those seeing as its hard as hell to try and find the ACTUAL base file thats causeing the problem.

 Your antivirus most likely cannot delete the files because they are running. Try restarting in safe mode then scanning as stated by Brian S. I could try to give you more advice, but I first need to know what Operating system you're running. (Version of Windows) Certain versions of Windows can be booted to a DOS like environment, and then you can use NAV's command line scanner.
