Computer virus - help me get rid of the little blighter!

[Imagedude]

I clicked on a link on Facebook and I now seem to have a computer virus. The virus is asking for permission to acces the command prompt which, obviously, I cancel. I have removed the folder/exe file (c:\users\my user name\appdata\local\temp\dwpkjb.exe) and stopped the dwpkjb process but every time I reboot I get the virus trying to access the command prompt again. How do I find and kill this virus? I have AV software but this is not seeing the virus.
I'm running Windows XP (or is it Vista??)

Cheers

Try a restore back to a time before you clicked on the link Bob

To stop it running at start up you can run MSconfig also search with regedit to get it out of your registry. I don't think it's a virus per se more some kind of malware. You might try http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx this which despite being microsoft does often work.

Download Malwarebytes from a trusted site, such as Filehippo install and reboot into safe mode with F8, and run a complete scan, when it has completed the scan, allow it to fix what it finds. Whilst in safe mode do another virus scan. While your at it, also download spyware blaster from the same site and run it, it vaccinates against a lot of the exploits used by maleware to infect your computer and SuperantiSpyware, which as a decent real-time scanning engine that works in the background. You may also want to install a firewall, I recommend Comodo, and I have found Avast antivirus free to very good, read a few reviews on its capabilities.

It usually does the trick when it's not actually a virus, it's good to get the other stuff in place though
