trojan.adclicker that it is unable to repair. i followed the instructions
from symantec and disabled system restore, then restarted in safe mode, then
ran a full system scan. it came up with 8 files affected they were located
at c:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp\4.temp and 8.tmp and
9.tmp and a.tmp . at c:\documents and settings\owner\local
settings\temp\asmfiles.cab and p2psetup.exe and also
c:\windows\temp\altnet\dmfiles.cab and pmexe.cab i went to the registry
editor to try to find at
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run and also
hkey_current user the exact file names were not in there, where else should i
look or what else should i do.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
