Should try sophos.  It's pretty bad too.   Sophos is a memory hog and will slow down your pc to a crawl.  Then when you try to remove it.  IT doesn't completely remove itself so you can't install another antivirus on your system.  Luckily, revo uninstaller can get rid of it.

First tool I tried was the tool on their site.  Didn't work.  Then I found a removal tool from another site that finally worked.  Phew!
