If you had googled the virus there are any number of manual procedures to
remove it. Unfortunately you relied on this newsgroup and got only the idiot
answers of people trying to sell you on lame software. The real approach is
to Google it, learn what the virus really is and then manually remove it.

Thanks for the website.
Unfortunately, this also did not clean my machine.
We ended up reformatting and reinstalling Vista.
So, now, all is well.

I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista. Vista Antivirus Pro
has
appeared and is creating havoc on my system. Is anyone familiar
with Vista
Antivirus Pro? I removed my laptop from my network and then I ran
a boot
scan with Avast! It said that it removed a Trojan, but today,
Vista
Antivirus Pro is back. I don't know what else to do.
