I have laptop with a fresh install of windows 7, yet still is infected with a Trojan. Interestingly enough, after running HBCD and Clamwin, I found the little ah heck hiding on my X drive (the drive created by running Mini-XP from HBCD). My guess is that Mini-xp "borrowed" the file in question (keybtray.exe) but isn't affected by the trojan (I've regained control of the touchpad and keyboard). The problem is that I cannot deleted keybtray.exe and reinstall it, because it's in use (it always is I suppose). The virus itself is called Trojan.crypt-426, and since I can't get Avira to run, I'm having difficulty removing it. I know you're supposed to be able to remove viruses manually, but this one's stumped me. Any pointers?
UPDATE: Decided to run MalwareBytes to see if it can pick up the virus. The curious thing is that I can't find the file "keybtray.exe" in the system32 folder, so I'm curious as to the results.
