Troj/HacDef-G is a backdoor Trojan that is targeted at NT/2000/XP operating systems. As well as allowing unauthorised remote access to the victim's computer, this Trojan is able to hide information about the victim's system including files, folders, processes, services and registry entries.

Alias: HackerDefender.

You could also try BlackLight from F-Secure:

You can also find instructions for manual removal here.

Please let us know if UnHackMe works. I for one have never had the opportunity to test it.
