How do I stop a virus from continually trying to download itself into my computer?
The following virus, VirTool:Win32/Obfuscator.GD, keeps trying to download itself into my C:\Windows\Temp folder. My antivirus program suspends the attempt but as long as my computer is connected to the internet, it keeps on trying, approximately every 3-5 minutes. I have updated all of my security software, switched antivirus/antispyware/malware, etc. programs in an attempt to stop this, but to no avail. 3 people need an answerI do too

Despite your efforts, your computer is not clean. Go through these general malware removal steps systematically - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe Mode. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. PLEASE DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS FORUMS. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

I have the same problem and this must be something new because I can't find any answers anywhere. I will re-post if I find out anything, please do the same.
