Go Back in Time before your system was infected by this Trojan by using SYSTEM RESTORE!
Here is how for XP users, but VISTA users have similar instructions.
1. Click Start.
2. Point to All Programs.
3. Point to Accessories.
4. Point to System Tools.
5. Click System Restore.
6. Follow the instructions on the wizard.
This will not erase any photos or files you have created, it just takes your system back to a time when the virus was not there.
