What happen is that the Trojan get deleted but they leave registry line that after restarting they go into system restore and restore them self.

I have given you both turned off and turn on because after you delete this Trojan you’ll need to start that service again

Re-run your antivirus software oh and make sure to update the antivirus definition on it Also try it in safe mode If that fails try this to.

this part is the manual way.

All Trojan horses are hidden files so you would need to go to the Files Option (click

the View tab)at Control Panel and uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known

file types & *Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) boxes, then OK yourself out You will then need to restart your computer and go into Safe Mode by holding the F8 key down -(kind of at the beginning of boot up) When you're at the Desktop screen go to Start/ Search/ For Files and Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT which would have shown up on your Anti-Virus software, you can delete this file from here Also, make sure to empty your Recycle Bin

I hope this helps Good Luck and try updating your antivirus software and make sure that your antivirus sofrtware has a auto detect feature it help with trojan.
