Short, practical plan to remove "trojan revop.c" without paying: start by isolating the PC (unplug network/Wi‑Fi) and do not run suspicious files. Revop has historically appeared as a detected Trojan/spyware family, so treat the machine as compromised until proven otherwise. (canon-its.jp)

On a clean computer, make two safe copies before you touch the infected drive: (A) an image (or clone) of the disk so you can revert if something goes wrong, and (B) a copy of irreplaceable personal files only (documents, photos — do NOT copy programs or installers). Create bootable rescue media on that clean computer and use an offline scanner to sweep the infected machine (this avoids any resident malware re‑installing itself while Windows runs). Microsoft Defender Offline is free and built into modern Windows; vendor rescue ISOs are another common option — always update signatures before scanning. (support.microsoft.com)

If the infection persists after offline scans, investigate persistence rather than deleting files at random. Run Sysinternals tools (Process Explorer and Autoruns) from removable media on the infected box (or on the cloned image) to list running processes and every autostart location (Run keys, Scheduled Tasks, services, AppData autoruns). Save the Autoruns/Process Explorer output to a text file before changing anything — that log is what responders use to give precise removal steps. Do not blindly delete system files; when in doubt, quarantine and keep a copy of evidence. (learn.microsoft.com)

If these steps don’t fully remove the Trojan, rebuild the system: wipe/reinstall Windows from known‑good media, patch it, reinstall apps, then restore only scanned personal data. Reinstalling is the surest clean option when persistence/rootkit components survive cleanup — it’s the last resort but sometimes necessary. After recovery, change all passwords used on that machine and consider submitting suspicious binaries or hashes to multi‑engine services for vendor analysis. Save logs and reports and post them (as suggested) if you need targeted help; ’s point about scanning outside the live OS was exactly the right direction. ()

Download and update spybot, adaware, and your anti-vir

Reboot windows in safe mode and run all three, after all three are complete immunize your system with spybot

and reboot

Check this thread for suggestions on what to do:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread5690.html

Also, use Windows Update to get all the critical updates. If you're still having trouble after 'helping yourself,' get HiJackThis from here:
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownlo...nload-5034.html

Put it in a folder like c:\hjt\hijackthis.exe (don't run if from a temporary folder or from the desktop). Close all windows, scan, save the log, and then post the log in the Security forum along with a description of any remaining problems.
