I know rootkits can be pretty nasty to remove. I've never seen this particular one, but I googled it (as I would if you were to bring your computer to me).

I found a thread on forums.techguy.org that has a ridiculously long discussion and troubleshooting session on it.

The most promising part of the thread seems to be a link to a program called gmer.net. It appears that a better known scanner called Avast contains the same anti-rootkit technology.

I'd try to remove it with the free version of Avast.
If that doesn't work, I'd try malwarebytes.
Then, I'd look into this gmer.net rootkit removal tool.

Thank you, sounds like a game plan. I’ll get busy this weekend.
