Well not sure if this will for for everyone but I found it by accident. Got the damn Personal Antivirus today. After looking at all the downloads I was told to get but couldnt get cause of the damn popups and stuff associated with this thing I tried booting up in safe mode. Couldnt get online but I remembered something called system restore in the Accessories/system tools in the start menu. Selected a date when I knew I didnt have it yet, restarted in normal mode and it seems to have totally removed that damn program. Told another friend about it. Says he tried system restore and it didnt work but he did it in normal mode. Safe mode seems to not start the Trojan. Hope this helps all.
