Also, you can almost always find out information on a particular virus by googling it. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=LZw&q=braviax&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi= | ||

It might be there and it might be not. To be completely sure run multiple scans with different programs under safe mode. No 1 program has a 100% detection ratio, so using multiple programs will help. I recommend antimalware, superantispyware, asquared, and try using a free trial of NOD32 suite. Also post a hijacklog so I can take a look at it if you can. | ||

It's really good and normally find anything on your PC. You then can search the virus he found via google to find the correct way to remove it. | ||

The only way you can be absolutely positively 100% sure is if you just format. I take it you don't want to do that though. And most likely you should be safe if your antivirus/antispyware stated that it did detect and remove something, and you don't see any signs of the virus lingering on your computer. sick thats awesome! thanks everyone for your help, the virus has at least calmed down so ill (hopefully) get some sleep and see if i can work on it again tomorrow. | ||
