wally please learn the difference between a virus and trojans. A virus spreads and deletes files. Trojans open backdoors to the computer (a server) to allow others to connect. The trojan does no harm nor infects files. There is no need to actually format and reinstall Windows in this case.
ok it doesnt have to be a sub7 trojan in particular sub7 is a rat program
(Remote Administration tool) there are alot of these applications not just sub7 and i never said she could have a trojan or a virus even though these kind of applications are trojans. i know the difference.
some keyloggers which are in these rat programs are injected in critical system files and from the keylogger i know and use, it can be hidden from the task manager processes. but yes deleting the server application will resolve the problem but even if you did, you will have to figure out what the server installer is because the server made from these applications can be binded with any file and look like anything out of the ordinary so i say just format. there are so many reasons why she should just format.
also wj's advice has my vote
