Go here and download Hijackthis

http://dsvs.org/5/HijackThis.exe


Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\\HJT\\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents AT THE LINK BELOW

Please also indicate the problem you are experiencing


Please do not be tempted to "fix" on your own. Hijackthis is a very powerful tool, if used incorrectly can cause system problems

Hi everyone,
   I feel your frustration with this puper trojan... I am having the exact some problem on my computer.. It doesn't seem to be messing anything up, but McAfee tells me it detects it everytime I start up my computer.. I have tried to get rid of it using any programs that are known to work but it seems like this trojan is impossible to find..  I have downloaded Hijack-This but have no clue what to delete and what not to.. Does anyone out there know how to get rid of this thing???
