I have just download and run the quick scan of that tool with no infections found. Running the full scan now but will take several hrs, so will finish it and re-run the MBAM full scan and post the results later.
Thanks

Results for Microsoft Malicious software removal tool:
Worm:Win32/Pushbot.gen!C was detected, not removed.
everything else come back as not infected.
I am running the MBAM full scan now, and will line up Symantec to do another full sweep.

Win32/Pushbot.gen!C is spread via MSN Messenger and/or AOL Instant Messenger. It also contains backdoor functionality that allows unauthorized access to an affected system.
Manual removal is NOT recommended. Was it quarantined?
There was no indication that it was quarantined, just that it was detected and not removed. I cannot find any logs for the scan.
Doh - after a bit more googling I found the mrt.log file and a quick perusal of it shows the location of the infected file to be within a zip file. Is it ok to remove the zip file in question?
Honestly I don't know. All indications I found was that manual removal was not recommended. But it is your computer.....that is the only problem with 64bit operating systems...the ASSUMPTION that things like this won't bother them so why create a tool that will run on it when it won't be needed? Well, we are seeing this everyday now with so many of these Windows 7 64bits being sold. Anyone with any sense would realize that the creators of these evil pieces of software would naturally adapt them to attack the 64bit system. But people don't have sense!
Sorry, just had to vent and YOU are the one with the infected computer but I am the one who vents. Sorry.
Combofix is the tool of choice but it won't run, or isn't advised to be run I should say, on Windows 7 64bit. Windows 7 32bit yes but lots of cautions given on the 64's.
Feel free to vent, I can appreciate your frustrations!
MBAM full scan hot off the press: - seems the backdoor.spynet is still persisting.
