Hello,

I am quite sure my laptop got infected with a rather strange virus. It has something to do with a program called AntivirusGold v2.0. This program seemed to have installed itself, without asking permission. I cannot remove this program completely. Everytime I reboot the program installs itself again. Next to that, a very annoying icon keeps appearing in the taskbar, telling me "Your computer is infected!" I have no clue how to solve this problem... hoping someone can help me.

Next to that, it is impossible to start Hijack This. Everytime I double-click it gives the message that I am starting it from a temporary folder, and that I should move the program before using it. However, this is not true, because I am starting it from C:\Program Files\HijackThis...

Hoping for an answer!

Greetings,

Rory
