I'm having trouble with this virus. I used spybot to clear it and it came back. I used Malware to remove it and it came back. I then went in and cleared it from my registry and was cool for like a week, and it's back. Since then, I've blue screened twice and I'm fearing the worst. Any help would be appreciated.

And....it's back again. There has to be some other virus allowing this and I have no idea.

ETA: Since the script, I've gone on facebook, reddit, the PC, and logged into GS.

Which one did you use? Did you run it while in safemode? I didn't have a whole lot of time to look into it, oral mandarin exam on monday, but I found something that mentioned how this virus can infect the motherboard as well.

nothing I have read about this virus is good, very nasty and very persistent, and a bitch to remove.

Sounds like an old girlfriend of mine.
