My mum clicked a link in msn that she thought was from my sister who regularly sends her pictures and what not through msn. It turned out to be the win32:TratBHO[Trj] virus :( everything I have done has not gotten rid of it. I turned off system restore, booted into safe mode, ran avast and adaware and assumed that it was fixed.

On turning on the pc this morning (xp home) my mum has told me that avast has the virus again :(

Any ideas on how to get rid of it, short of wiping the machine and starting again?

Had a quick look round the net and there are a few different ways mentioned, but all involve programs I have never heard of before.
 
disable system restore
ccleaner slim
nod32 trial
spybot s&d
adaware se
windows defender (disable real-time scanning when you're done)
avg antispyware (uninstall/disable from startup when done, it's heavy on resources)
then post back here and say 'thanks bledd' :p
 
just google exactly what i've written on each line, should get you to all the right pages, update each program first

will realistically take about 20-60mins i reckon :)
