Trojan Horse Virus

[JP]

I have a virus on my PC the name of it is called Trojan
Horse IRC/Backdoor.sdbot.us. I have an antivirus program
but when I run it, it does find
anything. Also I have downloaded a trojan horse remover
and it was unable to find any viruses but I still get
prompted that I have a virus. Any help would be great!!

What's telling you that you've got a virus? Try going to
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ and clicking on the 'Check for
security risks' icon. That should tell you whether you've really got a
virus or not.

The virus is probably still in your system restore file. Turn off system
restore, reboot, then turn it back on.
