Anyone have a quick fix to remove poweliks? [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by steve2470 (a host of the Computer Help and Support group).

I was interneting on an old computer and now have the poweliks trojan. Believe I'm using windows 7 and I'm using ESET NOD32 ANtivirus.

What I'm finding on the internet doesn't seem quick or easy.
