My virus scan is still stuck.

Having 2 spyware/virus scanners on your computer is not good. Both scanners will conflict and there performance will be less effective, you must have one installed at a time.

Where did you come up with this bullstuff?

Duckmeister:

I use AVG Free 8.5, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, and Spybot Search & Destroy.

They recently saved me from a Trojan attack, the one with the "you must update your shockwave player" screen that stays above all windows.

I restarted the computer, didn't open up the internet browser (that's what triggers it) and ran Spybot, it found it almost immediately and removed it no problem.  Then I restarted again, ran the browser, it was gone, and then ran AVG, and it did the mop-up.

Only bad thing about AVG Free is that it purposely doesn't let you scan for rootkits.  But that's what my other software is for.

I love Spybot: S&D.
It also saved me once or twice.
