Hi Marianne,
Try this idea, if it fails, your best bet is to pull the HDD and slave it to another
Computer and do an Online malware scan.
Restart the computer in SafeMode, when the error appears, hit Control-Alt-Delete
keys simultaneously, this should open the Task Manager, Close Program Dialog box.
Use the END TASK button to stop any process you do not recognize, and any thing
like GBot.
This link contains detailed removal instructions and a list of files that need to
be deleted plus registry values that need to be changed.
Just a note, you must be ale to work in REGEDIT to finish the Manual removal. This
Trojan is set to reload itself when you run an EXE file.

Print out the list for future refrence.
Now, if Contrl-Alt-Delete did not work to clear the programs from memory, and allow
you to proceed with the removal process, you'll have to pull the HDD.
Install it in another Computer as a slave then Run Trend Micro Housecalls on-line.
There is a link at the bottom of TM page I sent you.
Click the link to open the page, then save the link to Favorites on the Computer
you will use to run the TM Scan .You should be able to select the Problem Drive
only on TM SCAN.
Good hunting!
BW
