Download hiren's Boot CD, burn it in a disc or make a bootable USB, boot through it and enter 'Mini XP mode'. Start MalwareBytes Anti Malware and scan the whole system. Scan it again with a different anti malware software just to confirm.

if u can boot into PC then download this

eScan : Secure ? Scalable ? Reliable : Antivirus, Content Security and Firewall Protection for Servers and Endpoints

this will remove the virus for sure

IMO, Norton 2012 Internet Security or later is a very good software.

^^ nice to know you have fixed the issue .. but seriously never use Quick heal as it's not a very good Av product and moreoevr always use the most recent version of any AV product like in 2013 you should use/get a version which has 2013 label on it ( generally speaking ) or if the the product is from some previous year make sure it's always updated.

@ Zangetsu - thanks for the link.

ur welcome...
I used this tool in my office pc once...as it had loads of trojans/viruses/worms which had made installed norton pretty useless..so used this one as it creates a sandbox to scan the pc....it will run even if .exe files are infected ;)

just make sure to download the latest one..
