Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with a Trojan virus I believe. It's called Win32.Trojan.RX

I've used SpybotS&D, Ad-Aware and "Avast!" to try and solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to want to go away (if I'm even getting rid of it to begin with.) It seemed to have also locked me out of my own Task Manager and probably changed some other settings. When I try to get into my task manager it says "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." The issue with that is, I am the only admin on my laptop.

Avast detected something in the memory and wanted to do a boot-scan, however when tried to accept it said something along the lines of "Lacking Permission" meaning that I wasn't allowed to schedule a system boot.

Recently, I've been getting a lot of spam to my e-mail address, (10 or so a day) which has never happed before in the 4 years of having this e-mail address.

If theres a way to eradicate this issue once and for all without having to reformat (which I'm sure there is.) you would have my most sincerest gratitude.

If there is any other additional information you may require, please let me know and I will be willing to comply.
