So I got myself infected and now I'm trying to clean it. I've run the following, but I can't seem to purge it.
(In Order)
Normal Mode, right when infection alert happened: shift+delete origination file.
Download HijackThis, run scan, save logfile, remove some things, reboot
Safe Mode
Trend Micro Scan, removed 15 files.
HijackThis, run scan, save logfile, remove some things again, reboot
Safe Mode
Trend Micro Scan - clean
Normal Mode
Download Ad-aware, update definitions, run full scan
Download Spybot S&D, update definititions, immunize, reboot, scan in safe mode.
This is where the system is atm. Any thoughts? Ad-aware found 2 infections that were minor, but the thing about this variant is that my background is a nasty "Windows Warning" fake alert.

Man, I got Virtumundo once, and it was a bitch to remove.
I'm going to back things up to an external drive, scan it in ubuntu, then reformat my Vista partition. My time is too valuable to worry about this crap.
