Well, I downloaded this trainer for a game. I have an avg exception file where if there is a false positive, I can put that program in there.
I started it up, ran it with the game, and it didn't work. (I never put it in the folder where I have an exception, and I never got a virus warning.)
I deleted the game, and the next time I started my computer it started 3 times, then crashed. A bunch of runtime errors popped up and Windows Explorer went non-responsive. Then it all stopped until next startup.

I went looking for the program, searched the C: drive, and found it located in my Temp file under AppData. Deleted it, then it returned after another startup. I could not believe it, it must be some type of stealth virus.

I changed the permissions on that, made it so no one could access it... no luck.
I searched the registry with TuneUp 2009 registry search and found two subkeys belonging to it. Deleted them, same thing keeps happening, they return to the registry...

I check my other User account on my computer, It's worse. When I log on, It keeps starting and won't stop unless I open notepad (or any other software to prevent Windows to log off.) then attempt to log off, stops the process, and cancel it.

I have no other choices, could this be the Alcan virus, could the Brute Force Remover Delete it? I have been afraid to use it. Could I also use ComboFix and catchme. I heard they can be dangerous to use without a malware expert's ok..

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

PS: Sorry for the long post :)
