    Have you tried something like Spybot Search & Destroy?

    i had this VIRUS lately too. desktop goes blank then displays a virus warming screen. if i can remember properly what i did is turn back on my firewall(which was turned off). downloaded regcure from a torrent site like isohunt(the full version). i then installed and ran regcure in safe mode as the trojan blocks the installation on normal mode. i also (in Safe mode) manually deleted the 'anti virus protection' folder that appears with the virus from my program files folder. regcure should delete all the changes made to your system reg made by the trojan....restart and hope for the best.

    Hi just an update, I got it sorted. I used Smithfraud in safe mode, then on startup CTRL ALT DEL go to Task Manager Then processes and end the Powerfull PC in there, installed Spybot updated it and ran it, found 4 items so I deleted them then ran it again in safe mode and it found 2 more items.
    Thanks for your help guys
