How do I get rid of a Trojan?

[Molly]

Hi I've got stuck, my computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse virus. I know this because my Virus detecter tell me every 15 seconds. It says it can't do anything about it but identify the file as : C:/system32.exe I have tried to go in and delete it myself or change it names, but apparently I don't have any rights on that file.

I'm kind of stuck, I don't want to turn off my anti Virus but It just won't shut up. I don't think I have the CD to rebuild the machine and I don't really want reformat the hard drive, god know what I would loose.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks Molly

Okay yeah thats not a normal file. Can you tell us the name of the trojan? Also do you know how to start your computer in safe mode? What operating system are you running?

[Molly]

I can't figure out what the name is. I have tried a couple of different virus scanners, but I still can't figure it out.

ANy suggestions? Molly

Anti-Virus ...

What antivirus do you have? You are more than likely going to have to start in safe mode and do a system scan. I'm just assuming you are on Windows XP since you never answered my original question in the first place. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam
