*sigh* So I was having great luck with my new laptop since I got it..no really big problems, any virus/spyware that came up was promptly removed.

Over the past day or two, I've gotten a lot of notices from OneCare that a trojan called Win32/Alureon.gen has been detected and should be removed. When I try to use OneCare to remove it, it doesn't work...no matter how many times I try it. I've also just recently gotten notifications about Alureon.j! and Alureon.BB, and was actually able to remove Alureon.j!.

I downloaded and ran Spybot S&D, and it found two unrelated trojans...I haven't tried connecting to the internet with my computer since it removed Alureon.j!, so I don't really know if the problem has been fixed, but in case it hasn't, do any of you have any advice on how I can get rid of this damn thing?

All help is greatly appreciated!
