When I unzip the folder and double click tdsskiller it doesn't do anything…. the program wont even start… I have tried downloading it twice
Its running fine minus the ctfmon.exe and the numerous weird iexplore.exe's running. This computer is connected to another computer using remote desktop…. Do you think that possibly that is where the virus keeps on coming back from?

Go here to run an online scannner from ESET.

I realize that everything keeps on coming back clean, but is there any reason for the iexplore to constantly be popping up? Either way thanks again for all of the help man!

Can you explain that better?
Are you talking about IE?
Everytime I google something, I constantly get weird redirects too… And as far as the iexplore thing goes, in task manager there are always two processes, if not more, running called iexplore.exe and one is using 263,628 K. Something just doesn't seem right with them.
