Virus

[Joe]

My msin32.dll file has been infected with a
Keylogger.Trojan Virus. I have tried unsuccessfully to
get rid of it and am now looking for some advice. My
Virus detection program identifies it okay but is unable
to clean or quarantine. I have run Hijack This and CW
Crusher to no avail. I have run Spy Bot to no avail.
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this one??
My operating system is Windows XP.

It sounds as if this virus is located in the "system restore" area. You have
to disable, reboot and, if you want, enable it again. See this article on
how to disable it:

Thanks for the advice. I turned off system restore and
rebooted. The virus alert still pops up any time I try
to use my keyboard while in Internet Explorer. Still
looking for more advice.
