| Why don`t you go ahead and press ctrl, alt, delete and pull up your task manager and go to the "Processes" and try seeing if perhaps the trojan is in there. If it is, end the task and run any anti-virus software and it should take care of it. You mentioned Avast didn`t pick the virus up... Is it the latest version with current updates?

| Terminating viruses/malware doesn't typically work in taskmanager because they auto restart. I'd start up in Safe Mode and then run antivirus from safe mode. There are some web-based virus scanners (pandasoft) that don't require you to install the program or updates, and just scans your computer from the net--viruses/malware are famous for fooling/preventing antivirus software from working properly (in some cases). Try a few different free antivirus programs to see if that helps.

| Sure, in safe mode while you're running an antivirus program, but there's no practical way to manually kill a virus/malware trojan in task manager and then remove all instances of the program(s) from your computer before it restarts. If you have found a way please share it for the person having this problem.

| Did you run the AV's from safe mode? What makes you think it is W32.MyTob? You should also check in Add/Remove Programs to make sure nothing has installed itself without your knowledge. Some malwares do this such as Adware.TopAV - this also creates an svchosts file as do many other malwares. You really need to know what you are dealing with as removal techniques differ.

| If the Virus you have is the one you said it is, try this Virus remover for it: W32.Mytob@mm Removal Tool - Symantec.com Or maybe this one: W32.Mytob.AR@mm Removal Tool - Symantec.com Or, if those don't work, I think that Symantec has an online Virus scanner somewhere, maybe not though.
