    Welcome to WindowsBBS jumpers :)

    Suggest you try to download the Netsky Removal Tool from Symantec and run it according to their instructions.

    I would also like for you to post a log from Deckards System Scanner. Instructions and links are here.

    For the record, and despite the recommendation by Symantec, System Restore should have been left alone until your machine was cleaned up. An infected restore point is better than none at all, if there's any concern about losing data. Please make sure it is enabled now.
