I have a virus which avast is identifying as w32/:zbot-ajn, but I cannot remove it

I need to get rid of a virus on one of my machines, which Avast identifies as W32/Z:/BOT-AJN.  Avast doesn't remove it and I have tried Kaspersky which crashes the machine, even when Avast has been removed.

I struggled with this one for a long time, to resolve it I used a combination of Free Fixer and Prevx CSI.

using Free Fixer, www.freefixer.com I found a bunch of stuff in the drivers folder and since Prevx, http://www.prevx.com/, is trialware I just used kilbox to delete everyfile it found on reboot.  No problems since.  After I did that I scanned it with pretty much every program known.  Good luck!

granite03,
Please start by following the suggestion I made above and use the current HJT.

You also need to go back and start working your old questions - at least one over a year old. It can be pretty aggravating to try to help someone who ignores all of the suggestions we make.
