Hi All

Now I know its still there somewhere but the question I have is, would my pc's kespersky 2012 or adaware find it or should I use somthing else?

kaspersky may as its an excellent AV, and probably stopped you getting badly infected

ad-aware isn't great, use malwarebytes instead

I would definitely run it after Kaspersky. Feel free to post the logs from the two of them here if you wish
