Press Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore and then click on Restore Settings and turn it off all drives by ticking the box. This will stop the virus from restoring itself. If you need more help with it just ask. That might not be a good idea though because that clears restore points.

It is a good idea, a very good idea. You should always turn off system restore (and clear restore points) to remove a virus.

That will never remove a virus. (almost never, never say never)

do a scan in safe mode (keep pressing F8 when you restart to get into 'Safe Mode') with the System Restore off.

Safe mode = very good idea. I go into safe mode, and kill every process that task manager can (I don't do it for virus removal, but ...). FYI; both of these should be done because it will unlock files to be scanned/cleaned/erased.

If all else fails, nuke it. It's not like you're losing a lot of data

i finally finally found out the problem...it turns out that a certain file called JAVAXP.exe was making all the trouble...so i got into safe mode, showed all system files and deleted the wrecked up file.....my comps fine now!!

yippeeee................and guys,thanx a hell lot for the help and time!
