It has been awhile that my computer is always having a threat of a virus.
The virus is called Mebroot.trojan. It is in my C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup/uninstall.exe, I tried to delete it but it wont be deleted.
What seems to be the problem on this??
Hope u can help me.

There are several solutions over there
(one of them recommends to use Malwarebytes' - I believe this will work for you)

download the free virus scanner/cleaner from MalwareBytes.org it will find any virus just let me know if you the virus is preventing you from launching the program. Just reply or post back in the thread and ill get an email to my phone :D No need to buy the software either that will just give you a prevention method but ive found the scanner to work so well and easy there isnt a big need to prevent but it does an excellent job on both parts. Feel free to do a full scan but the quick scan finds everything usually.

If you couldn't download it and run, try it in Safe mode with Networking.

So what happened?

I always recommend running scans in safe mode with networking. Most malware is dormant there.

Boot into safe mode with networking (F8 on startup). Download, install, and update malwarebytes, then do a full system scan.
