• Cleaning Up Viruses

Windows 7 64 bit, no prior Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware So I made the mistake of buying into the "Starcraft 2 Crack" thing due to my sheer lust for Starcraft 2, and after the fact I realized it was a total virus ploy. Of the three "cracks" I downloaded, one was a simple survey information scam, the other two were legit viruses. I immediately did a system restore to two days prior this seems to have gotten rid of all the files from WINDOWS that the first virus put in, the fake "Starcraft.exe" stuff is all gone from what I can tell. The last one however I couldn't find. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXBNP2drb4U[/url] This is the video, someone posted in the user's comments that it was a buzus trojan. Ran a full system scan with both Avast, Spyware Doctor, and Norton and didn't find anything. Still, in Windows Task Manager there's something running called System with the description NT Kernel & System. I know that System.exe and system32.exe are dead giveaways for trojans but I'm a little concerned that none of the AVs found anything. Any helps appreciated.
Spybot Search & Destroy. Always works for me. (Even though I barely ever get viruses. So whenever I get one, it always tends to be a bad one.)
Yeah, try that and MalwareBytes Anti Malware. You might also want to delete your restore points. Some viruses add themselves to them so when you try to go to a previous point, it gives you the virus again.
AVG imo Boot into safe mode, run the scan, kill the infection.
