I too have the trz***.tmp infection that started today. When I start Windows 7, 64 I get 17 files on my taskbar. Windows said that it can’t open files. The only thing I ran was “ExterminateIt” scanner. Found a bunch of tracking programs, 2 malwares, 1 Trojan horse. It was able to eliminate all but the (K-4 ?) Trojan horse, where it froze the program “ExterminateIt”.
I have stopped ALL attempts at fixing this. Pleeeze, help me!

The control panel/programs says it’s already uninstalled and do I want to remove it from the list. Yet it still will run. (ExterminateIt) Should I just go to the folder and delete it the old fashioned way?
The FRST fix will remove it
Here ya go!
Just checked and Exterminate is still running. It’s still in the same folder and when I run “exterminateit.exe” it runs?
OK that was my error :-[

That seems to have worked. Thanks
My apologies for that, any further problems
I had disconnected both an external hard drive and a usb stick. Am I okay there as well?
If you are using USB and external drives then do the following
Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/mcshield%20unhide.JPG
Plug in the drive and McShield will start a scan
Then get the log which will be located under the logs tab on the main page
And post that
Thank you to all. I appear to be clean!!!
In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way 
Subject to no further problems
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
