Re: Virus or trojan help

I am not entirely sure If its infected explorer.exe as the virus does not 
run in safemode and while running explorer.exe.. I have been able to extract 
files with winrar and the exe files are not deleted upon extraction.. I have 
even been able to install Outpost firewall in safemode and scan the system 
with spyware.. it detected some spyware including bagle and removed it 
then... when I restarted the system in normal mode the virus keeps 
restarting the system imidiately after the desktop is shown.. This is 
probably because the virus cannot delete outpost.exe as it is already 
running as a service before the virus loads... so virus simply restarted the 
system so I would not be able to fix anything..
I booted again in safemode and disabled outpost.exe service and surely 
windows booted ok in nomal mode but looking in outpost installation 
directory the virus deleted outpost.exe...
also the standard windows firewall service will not automaticaly start I had 
to start it manually all the time..
I could not see any rouge running process in taskmanager and Ive even 
installed WintaskPro and cannot find anything out of the ordinary.. Ive 
disabled all other non microsoft services and microsoft servises I can 
disable.. to no avail..

Its a shame...Evil people are getting smarter and smarter every day....

Could anybody recommend an antivirus software that will Install and run in 
safemode as thats what I think is the only way I could have a fighting 
chance with this virus..

Ive tried Nod32 AVG Norton Panda bitdefender... seems this virus has a 
database of almost all known antivirus and security software..

Unfortunately I cannot just format and reinstall without knowing what has 
gone wrong as this virus probably have infected some in our network and 
chances are it will just return again...
