is ur anti virus up-to-date? well if not, you'd better update it fast.. or try different anti virus softwares, in some cases other anti-virus software detects viruses,trojans or whatever that other anti virus cant detect...

Well its hard to know which it is but it doesnt really matter as we know its damn bad! TRy what hadi said, ive never used that route before but it seems like a good idea, in the meantime, or if you dont try that then what anti virus are you using? and as said is it up to date? if it is up to date then you need to get a second anti virus, id reccomend avast as it seems to find alot of malware and is easy to use, search the web, its easy to find anbd free for home use. once youve got that open the anti virus main window and over to the right looks like an eject button, click that (this assumes you are using the simple interface found by right clicking the A icon in the icon tray and clicking "start antivirus") Once you see the menu click shedule boot time scan and do as it asks, then reboot and it will scan the entire hard drive and hopefully find that virus and destroy it while it still thinks the computer is turned off. That should do the trick. If you already use avast then update the virus database and scan using a thorough scan. if that doesnt work try finding AVG anti virus and trying the same steps with that.
