Since the trojan is in the System Restore Directory, the programs wont be able to delete it. The best way is to Disable System Restore (Right Click My Computer, Left Click Properties, Click System Restore tab, take away tick) Then restart the comptuer. Run an online virus scan @ http://housecall.antivirus.com to make sure you dont have any viruses, then Enable System Restore again. CJC
Get some spyware removals, because main antivirus sowtware detect it but do not clead. I am bored from these "cannot be deleted".
i found this program very good at removing trojans, you can get a free 30 day trial from there home page http://www.trojanhunter.com/
