Help with a Trojan? please...

Hello

I have McAfee total protection (supposedly!) & spybot installed on my sons laptop.

I noticed that he was getting alot of pop ups even with pop up blockers enabled, specifically a poker one & also a spyware detected (winantispy.com) type which McAfee site advisor detects as red.

Also, the settings in the internet options keep on automatically changing themselves to accept all cookies.

And now, staring today, I can't open most applications like Spybot or setup programs (nothing happens when I double click).

On startup, McAfee detects & removes a Trojan found in C:\Documents and settings\My Name\Local Settings\Temp\snfjvkte.exe. (I don't seem to be able to locate the folder named Local Settings either) McAfee describes it as generic.dx Trojan (if this helps?).

If I restart the computer, I am quickly able to start spybot but during the scan it terminates itself.

Please can someone advise?
