Well as you know I had a mean trojan on my PC and due to my lack of a extra (decent sized) harddrive. It would take me awhile to do a proper back up. I wanted to try and clean my harddrive and went program hunting since my main programs (Spybot,Ad-aware,Spyblaster,ect.) wasnt getting it even with proper updates. I even used more powerful programs such as Highjackthis and went registry cleaning. Carefully searching key by key. Once I found it anc still couldnt stop it. I found a program (by luck) that cleaned it and cleaned it at the DOS level (past the shell since windows now isnt real DOS). The programs name is ComboFix. Its a very simple exe file with no real GUI's or anything like that. I just used it to clean my friends computer aswell (different virus/trojan) and it did wonders. Found things that we both had over looked even with our advanced programs and hunting skills.
I suggest if you even thing your comp is slowing down that you give it a check. ITS VERY POWERFUL SO DO NOT INTERUPT IT UNTIL FINISHED OR RISK KILLING YOUR OS FOR GOOD!!!!

oh also rumor has it that at one time a rootkit used it to delete your files off your computer. This has since been fixed however and it is safe to use again. There is very little info on this program and I only know the creator/s of this program is/are named sUBs. If anyone can find out more about it post it.
