guy what u need is a Mcafee desktop firewall installed on ur system, and the latest Mcafee virus scan. with the firewal, u can simply eliminate the fucking virus, once it tries to execute its self, the firewal will alert u and all u need to do is to deny it. from there u can trace its source and eliminate it.

its simple, to catch a rat, u simply put a barricade all around it and reduce the size of the barricade until u get the rat.

call me on 08055673226, 08068978257. i can give u the latest versions of the firewall and virusscan

xpecting ur call.

Install Firefox to another directory, rename the file to something different from it's default filename.
To remove the malware manually post the name of the files that are running in the task-manager, and also the name of the files in your MSconfig's startup.
