I got infected by a trojan i was able to disable it but need to delete it from the command prompt.
The file is c:\program files\uyngsk\wlomsysguard.exe
this is loaded by the registry.

hklm\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run\"system tool"
this is called from the registry key
my anti virus as well as 2 other programs could detect it -but- not delete it.

In the program file is not the virus main source to run the program it's in User or Application Data folder.



Use combofix from bleepingcomputer.com, then go download malwarebytes from softpedia.com or cnet.com and use it(rename the installer if it doesn't let you install it such as winlogon.exe), then clean the rest of the virus with superantispyware from softpedia.com or superantispyware.com.

From the Command prompt, type "del c:\program files\uyngsk\wlomsysguard.exe".(no quote marks)



The thing is, you have to either get it out of the registry first, or do it from Safe mode command prompt.
