Virus/Spyware/Rootkit??? [Resolved, for now]

I recently downloaded a keygen for a game :eek:, it worked great but apparently it was also infected with spyware or a virus or other crap...
The problem is that my computer keeps reopening the keygen every time I start my computer.
I tried to run several virus scans with AVG, but it didin't find anything.
Also, I've downloaded Spybot s&d but that didin't find anything either.
Do you guys have any ideas on how to solve this?

Sorry if this isn't very clear, I'm not very good at explaining things like these.
Thanks in advance.

~Edit:

Also, it seems to open a firefox process every time the keygen opens, because of this I can't updat Firefox anymore.
Do you think reinstalling Firefox might help?
 
A) keygens are bad ;)

b) try deleting the keygen, then find the process name, and search for that in your computer. then delete that too.

c) AVG is crap. Try getting Avast Ant-virus Professional. Something that will pwn any virus ;)

A: I know :biggrin:

B: I already did that but it didin't help.

C: I'll check that out thanks.

Anyway, as usual after I made a thread about a problem I managed to fix it.(I think) :|:
If the problem does occur again I'll post again...
 

Thank you for viewing
