Hello everyone,
Please help me. I have been attacked by Trojan viruses and my system has become exceedingly slow.
I have installed Spyware Doctor and all it does is keeps quarantining viruses - at last count 61. But removing or quarantining does not seem to help, because these viruses pop up in the next scan again.
The viruses have also disabled my task manager.
Any help on ridding my system of Trojan and "Alman" viruses would really make the world beautiful again.
PS: I'm not an airheaded bimbo; I can follow instructions and remove them myself, if someone would be kind enough to give me precises steps to follow.
Go through these general malware removal steps systematically - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe Mode.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions
http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/sicherheit/35905/multi_av_scanning_tool.html - download site
The site is in German but David's tool is in English so don't let that worry you. Scroll all the way down to almost the bottom of the page and you'll see a box titled "Infos Zum Download - Multi-AV Scanning Tool". You'll see "Download von www pctipp.ch" and the live link to download Multi_AV.
You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your malware here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).
Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
