virus help

a friend of mine needs help, she said:

"I have a Win32TrojanSpy virus on my computer, and though my up to date anti-virus detector catches and removes it, it returns after I even re-boot the computer."

please help

Also, if it helps, she has this stuff:
XoftSpySE remover
Kaspersky Internet Security
Ad-Aware "Anniversary Edition" anti-virus (but it's not effective)

Tell her to get NOD32. Worlks extremely well.

Also Spybot Search & Destroy

Tell her to discover the world outside Windows.

Many thanks everyone (except Steven for your unhelpful remark), the virus has now gone. I took three steps: McAffee Stinger; Ad-Aware's "Anniversary Edition" (2 sweeps, 2 re-boots) and to be extra-sure, manually went through the system.

Particular thanks to Liz for posting this for me last night.

Try Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. A Google search should come up with a link to download it. It's free.

And I've saved this to my docs. Much obliged.

Usually comes with random downloads from sites...

I know a few of my female friends got viruses cause they like to add glitter text to fuckin everything....a few bad websites here and there, and a computer which had decent speed, starts working as fast as a calculator.

Try deleting them from the "startup" programs, thats what starts the virus when it loads, then you;ll have no problems.

Yes, I knew that. Which is why I eventually killed it.

Or to discover the world of not clicking every link you see because it was giving away a free iPod and not using programs like Limewire.
