Can anyone help me fix my computer?

KillBox. Windows program, might work in Ubuntu. If not, you can install the drive as a slave in another computer, with KillBox installed, to kill the offending file. It *will* kill it, running or not.

But, be absolutely sure you have all the bad files. If there is a hidden program somewhere else, you might end up with new stuff being downloaded all the time, randomly, even if you kill one of the files. Makes things very difficult and frustrating. I spent a day and a half hunting down one nasty trojan that kept installing new malware and viruses on the computer every few hours. Unfortunately, it was a workstation, and I wasn't real keen on backing up and reinstalling everything. So, I went on a huge registry hunt, which took forever. Not fun.

So, if you aren't perfectly sure about the problem, and you can bear to lose a little bit, plus reinstall everything, it might save time to do just as said above: Backup files you need, wipe the rest, and reinstall.
