I also have this virus and don’t seem to be able to get it off my PC.
I have followed all the steps above and gone through all the programs from Eddy’s signature. I don’t know what to do next, so any help would be appreciated.
I have also posted a screen schot of my avast pop-up notifying me of the virus (which it says is in C:\Temp). I have also included a screen shot of some files that are in my temp folder that I cannot delete and I don’t know if they’re related in anyway to the virus.
This is the virus it picks up:
Virus name: Win32: Trojano-213 [Trj]
File name: C:\temp\INSTAL~1.EXE
VPS Version: 0443-3, 22/10/2004
I also get the same message but with the virus infecting file C:\temp\Installer2.exe
I have Windows XP if that matters at all. And I have run Ad-aware, Spybot S&D and Hijackthis. I am running Avast antivirus and have the on-access scanner. I have also tried the avast free download cleaner and McAfee stinger and nothing works.
I ran Hijackthis, but I don’t know what needs to be removed or not, so I have included my log file:

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea what to do about this.
If you need any more information just let me know and I’ll try and provide you with it.
Many thanks,
