You've been pwnd. If it cannot be uninstalled, or your virus scanner cannot remove it, then you will have to either uninstall it manually (remove files and remove entries from registry), or re-image your system. Good luck!

The advise for you is the same as given to the original poster.

After you have followed those instructions then please begin your OWN thread. We do not offer assistance to more than one person per thread. So you must create your own thread and not hijack another persons thread to receive further assistance.
