If you can not remove the virus with a an antivirus, carryout system restore. Restore the PC to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. It is easier and mostly your problems will be solved.. If you want to know an effective procedure for system restore please visit the following site.

After successfull repairs select a standard antivirus and an anti spyware and install in your PC so that the problem does not occur again.

First I would suggest that you try this free online virus scanner which usually works very well when others fail. It is called Housecall from Trend Micro. You MUST run it in Internet Explorer though. It will not function right in Firefox. If that doesn't work, try the other website listed that will lead you in the right direction if your efforts fail.

They probably failed because you didn't turn off system restore before you scanned. Hurri is an older boot sector virus and is listed as one that McAfee is capable of getting rid of..
