Answer:
Boot into safe mode and disable startup items by typing “msconfig” in the run box. once you are in msconfig click on the tab that says “startup” . uncheck ALL of the boxes. restart your computer into normal mode. Then run your virus scanner and delete it. This methd works with 99.9% of all trojans and viruses.
