Hello, I am an experienced computer user and my mother’s PC is infected with a worm called “Worm:Win32/Slenping” as listed on Microsoft Security Essentials. MSE is not removing this virus, and Avast! does not detect this as a worm. Im at a loss in how to remove it, and am unable to locate this virus manually as it duplicates it’self, etc. I tried to “end” the running process and it does go away but upon restart the virus re-starts! I dont know how to submit the virus to Avast! through Avast! 5.0

To remove Worm:Win32/Slenping, you must first stop any Worm:Win32/Slenping processes that are running in your computer’s memory. To stop all Worm:Win32/Slenping processes, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open the Windows Task Manager. Click on the “Processes” tab, search for Worm:Win32/Slenping, then right-click it and select “End Process” key.
To delete Worm:Win32/Slenping registry keys, open the Windows Registry Editor by clicking on the Windows “Start” button and selecting “Run.” Type “regedit” into the box and click “OK.” Once the Registry Editor is open, search for the registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Worm:^^^^^^.” Right-click this registry key and select “Delete.”
Finally, to completely get rid of Worm:Win32/Slenping you must manually remove other Worm:Win32/Slenping files. These Trojan.IRCBot files can be in the form of EXE, DLL, LSP, TOOLBAR, BROWSER HIJACK, and/or BROWSER PLUGIN. For example, Worm:^^/^^^^ create a file like
%PROGRAM_FILES%\Worm:^^^^^/^^^^^^.exe. Locate and remove these files,
