Virus/Trojen Help!

Iv recently had a few virus's detected by MSE and, the first time I did detect one it said I to restart the PC to finish cleaning it; only to find that I couldnt open windows (my PC turned of as soon as the windows logo was about to appear. Anywhere I managed to get it working again put the HDD on another PC and scanned it. Now heres the wierd thing although it detected no virus's, I tried to boot using the infected HDD and it worked :confused:

...

Now im using the original HDD, with no virus detections. But everynow and again another virus pops up (Over the 2 days).

These are info's of the virus:

Run some decent anti-malware tools. MalwareBytes; Hitman Pro; Dr Web; SuperAntiSpywarePro; A-Squared... I wouldn't be relying on MSE, especially on its own. The fact more malware keeps reappearing indicates you're still infected, probably by a piece of malware MSE is missing (i.e. a downloader/rootkit is running undetected, and installing more malware that MSE is catching).

Yup id advise Malwarebytes then Superantispyware with full updates and then full scans.

Should pretty much kill off any bug on your system, A full update and full scan with Avira/kaspersky trials would be good as well.

Turn off System Restore as well.

Its probably system restore working to repalce the missing viral files that brings it back every couple of days.
Turn off system restore, kill all shadow copies, then MSE and run malwarebytes.
Then reboot to safe mode, run MSE and malwarebytes again.
Then reboot and that should clean it out. Hopefully.

Edit: Dosnt matter got it.
