Here are a few things you can try:1. boot your computer in safe mode and run a virus scan from there.2. If you created a rescue cd from your antivirus program, try using it to run a scan.3. download the microsoft malicious software removal tool and try that.

Anti-virus software, especially free programs, can be limited because they can protect computers for certain virus variants only but will not protect computers for the more sophisticated ones.Anti-virus software depends on the signature files that contain the latest virus information, and the new viruses are not included in the signature files which limits the capability of anti-virus software to catch new viruses.Most anti-virus software cannot detect and clean zero-day exploits which means the viruses that spread and infect many computers in zero number of days, even before security experts can identify them as malicious.These are a few limitations of an Antivirus Software.Sources: techheadzny.com, ehow.com
