after using ad-aware, spywaredoctor (free version) and spybot, i went on to delete a few files in the hotkey registry. (not really familiar with that, only with advice from a friend). i also happen to find the image file of the 'bluescreen', n deleted it.
after countless scans by the 3 softwares, i think the trojan is still there. here is my log. please advice.
