Hey I need help, I keep scanning and moving to virus vault, but it keeps appearing.

I am sure windows updates is turned on, but now it won't even let me open my system file to check.

so is a total reboot in order? and if so how do I wipe the old drive clean, I have partioned the boot up, and also a burnt copy of back up.

This is the 7 (found) trojan in 3 days, hum kids and game sites!

Try using what you are using now and maybe Adaware in Windows Safemode.

A lot of those trojans are self replicating and half multiple versions of itself in different places. You could try running it several times.

Google some other good virus cleaners I sometimes find that using different cleaners find different problems.

Thanks for the help, I did a reboot, and finally noticed the "destroy all" button, instead just a windows reboot.

71 windows critical updates waiting for me, but I did save all my pic's this time.

So a question now, This laptop is working fine, but has lost windows update, how does one get that back?
