Try running a scan in safe mode, if that doesn’t work do the same with malwarebytes.

Try disabling System Restore, delete the file, reboot and then re-enable System Restore.

Try this link to determine if there are any loop-holes in your system – http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/ - It will deliberately attempt to crash your PC browser etc. Worth a try if only to find out what can get in under the radar or what needs fixing.

Another helpful – free – utility is PC Threatfire – www.threatfire.com/

I’ve pulled viruses off systems before that had similar behavior. The file the antivirus would find could be deleted but always came back. In one case, the problem was a trojan DLL and a registry entry to call it. The DLL created the program the AV would find. I found the DLL using Process Explorer and looking for unusual programs running and/or unusual DLL listings. Once I had the fake DLL name I searched the registry, found the call entry, and removed it.

In another case it was simply a few unwanted registry entries, including one in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run which was creating files.

That may or may not be your scenario, but if it is, that is what it took to remove the virus from the system. Hopefully this will help.

run hijackthis and visit hijackthis.de/en to enterpret the results, if there’s something running in the background replacing the file this will hopefully find it
