ok I tried about a thousand recommended anti-malware programs and FINALLY got all the rootkits out of my system. Hitman Pro works best. The others either collapsed on themselves or kept allowing the trojan to reinstall poo poo after every reboot. Hitman Pro did some weird poo poo that gave me a BSOD on reboot but the computer was 100% clean afterwards. v nice.

Lesson learned folks
