I'm having a serious problem with trying to remove this virus, PWsteal.trojan.
So far i have done everything that symantec told me to do to get rid of it, but whenever i think i removed it, the same file thats infected comes back. So far i have deleted this file, "cssrs.exe" from my windows/system32 folder about 8 times but to no avail. Since it s in exe. format, i figured if i change the extension name to something non realistic it will disable the file from being used, but that did nothing also. It denies me access to delete the file unless i F8 and start in another mode. Well i guess the main reason i'm here is to find out if there is another file that is releasing this virus everytime i delete and restart my pc and what i should do to get rid of it. i dont know what to do anymore. Norton isnt working for me the way it says it is made to. any alternative help is needed. plzzz help me before i throw this thing out the window.... :tazz:
