A very detailed thread with lots of info can be found here: http://forum.avast.c...p?topic=48617.0

And this might be useful: In the thread I mentioned scanning with Malwarebytes and detecting an infection. Well prior to posting this, I scanned again and detected 3. One of which resides in C:\Windows\Temp\svchost.exe. I kind of forgot, but when I first started my system Comodo Firewall asked me about letting svchost.exe connect to the Internet and I clicked Okay; now I can't recall fully, but I seem to have a slight collection of that having an icon of GTAIV? LOL! And yeah, I just installed GTA4 - I'm kind of ashamed to say that that it is torrented and just a few hours ago I was doing lots of Googling trying to find a crack.

Now Avast picks up 5 infections. And as again, neither can be removed.

Screenshot shows result and the process from task manager.
