this program automatically installs in my computer.. i just saw its shortcut in my desktop..
when i ran it, my spybot s&d detected it as an spyware and deleted it..

the day after i saw it again in my desktop, i tried deleting it manually but i can't execute it. so i decided to browse it in the internet, using google, it said that it was a malicious program..

i would like to ask now how could i delete this thing ? damn! it drives my crazy and making my computer slow.. im using windowsXP sp3..

a response would be highly appreciated especially for those who already experienced this.. thanks..!

Try running a virus scan in safe mode and delete it from there.....or you can turn off your automatic recovery ....and use a back up date prior to when you got it....

You might also try going to http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner. Do the scan after installing the software there. Save the results to an htm or html page on your desktop [easier to read when your finished]. Review that and then manually delete the files it points too, presuming this is the only problem you have.

I like to remember it only takes about six hours to get a PC up and running after a full wipe and restore, depending how badly yours is infected, keep that in mind. You always end up with clean system.

i tried that already, after the 1st time spybot detected it, it doesnt detect it anymore. even my up-to-date avast antivirus pro can't detect it.

You could also use MalWareBytes.

And SuperAntiSpyware.

Both are free. download and update and scan.

You can also do Start, run, then type in the run box,  msconfig , and then go to startup to see if it is set to start automatically on boot.

I'm thinking it's in the MBR. On the chip in the HDD.
