Viruses and worms

Hi…
My avast detects a virus/trojan named win32:mopy.
I try to delete it but i always comes back after a few minutes.
Does anyone know how to remove this???

Better is to know the name and the path of the infected files too…
Anyway, two things to do with replicant virus:

  1. Disable system restore.
    Enable/Disable System restore on Windows ME: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q264887
    Enable/Disable System restore on Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];310405
  2. avast boot-time scanning: Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning. Select for scanning archives. Boot.
