A particularly nasty variant of a trojan has popped up recently; it goes by various names. It will attempt to disable Windows Firewall, and even if your antivirus prog picks it up and removes it, it may well re-spawn next time you start your PC up.

I spent the best part of Tuesday trying to get rid of it, and the thing that worked for me was Windows Defender Offline (search for it) - it'll create a bootable CD, DVD or USB stick which runs before your OS boots up, scans your system - all of it, if need be - and (hopefully) finds and kills this nasty little thing.
