The Trojan That Is Pissing Me Off

Well, it exists in system.exe, right on my C partition, where Windows is. It has a registry key for it too. I got into safe mode, deleted both, and they just come back. It's using my bandwidth, and it seems to be blocking sites that are anti-viral, such as Kaspersky's site and sometimes Norton's.

AVG is overlooking it, and BitDefender isn't updating, and I'm not able to get the updates from their site, for whatever reason (perhaps the virus).

So, WTF now?

It doesn't allow me to update BitDefender or Norton's trial version. I can update AVG, but that isn't doing shit anyhow.

can you get the virus name?

Google system.exe. It can be many things...

Well I have an update:

I updated norton manually, and it found 3 viruses, 2 were trojans, neither were this one. At least it's a bit cleaner...

But, Norton's site has info on system.exe and how to get rid of it (by running a scan and doing whatever from there), but it's not even finding it.

Meh, I have Zone Alarm blocking it, so it's not harming much right now.

The only problem is that I close Zone Alarm during gaming. I need the least amount of processes going at one time on this machine. I have 33 right now because Norton has to have a gagillion going. I usually only have 20, and 13 while gaming.

Yeah. Considering I only know that the file name is system.exe, it doesn't narrow it down very much. Many things come up.

Too stupid to block the IP, but if I try to navigate anywhere else on their site, it says it cannot be found.
