Yesterday I had deleted all the files my scanner had said that were infected and then it said my computer was safe but with one file said to be in danger but just now it got infected again and now i have to get rid of it again. but just after that I just got rid of it with a final scan with showing that nothing was infected again. Will it come back? How does it keep coming back? Is it a very serious virus that will affect my other users or will it just affect me? I need helpto get rid of it for good! Oh and if your going to answer my question, please answer all of them please or just say you don't know. Thanks!

*Yes, it will come back if it was not properly removed.
*It could be a file that resides in RAM or uses a way to circumvent your virus scanner (such as a rootkit)
*Trojans usually just affect your computer, unlike viruses/worms which are programed to spread
*Try restarting your computer into 'safe mode' and running your virus scanner from there (keep punching F8 when powering on your computer)

If it returns... you need to turn of system restore, which basically is hold a "back up" of the virus so it can reinfect your system. Go to start>Programs>Accessories>System Utilities>System Restore. Click on system restore settings.
Turn it off... scan and clean.. restart then turn it back on.
