Yes, I do know that this is completely off topic and might be deleted, but this is the only forum I post on and am not ashamed to ask for help. Ok, I have a virus, on my computer, Supposedly its a Trojan Horse virus, I ran Tauscan (Trojan Horse Removal and Detection Utility) and the first time i ran it, it detected and said it had deleted this virus. But i keep getting these popups in very small boxes that say "Mega-Chuku 3.0" i ran several antivirus programs and all found it, but none got rid of it. Whenever i play a game or enter a program that takes up the whole screen, i am welcomed back to the desktop with sometimes well over 500 of these popups. I ran a antivirus, it has found 47 infected files, 45 of these succesfully deleted, the last two were in 2 programs i couldnt not delete, it would say that this program is in Use By Windows. Did i mention those same popups seem to come eveyr 30 seconds or so even when im NOT in a program? I have been wresting with this thing for a very long time and it is pushing me to the edge of my sanity.
I cannot format my hard drive for a long list of reasons. I talked to a friend who is a Network Security Admin, and he says that my only hope is to find a Antivirus i can run from DOS on Floppy disks without booting the system. I tried to, unfortunately i cannot find one, many a time i get really far into a game, and just as im about to make a save a popup flies up, crashes the game without me making a save game, for this particular reason i had hit my computer so hard my CD drive started to screech and i had to have it replaced. I Contacted everyone i know, including Microsoft, even the antivirus companies, hell, i even called my vid card manufacturer, but to no avain. Someone please tell me what to do or make a suggestion, im going freakin crazy here.
