What do I do when I find downloader-bcm trojan (netpumper-1.50-setup-0025), generic malware, adware generic 2, adware deskbar on my computer in: Program Files, Documents and Settings, and Windows\system32 folders?
Can I delete these files without hurting my computer?
These files do NOT show up in the Add/Remove Programs program.
Will Comodo Anti-virus remove these? How?
I think I allowed these when the Comodo window kept popping up.
Should I go back in time several weeks before this happened?
I ran PREVXCSIFREE Version 1.1.0.57 software on March 5th and found the mentioned Trojan, Adware Generic, Generic Malware – where BOCLEAN says “Active trojan horse WAS shut down. System safe.”
Shouldn’t these be deleted from the hard drive to make the system safe?
Why didn’t BOCLEAN or Comodo Anti-Virus remove these from my computer?
Shouldn’t these be deleted from the hard drive to make the system safe?
There's no error screen shot available.
I ran Comodo Anti-Virus Scan of My Computer and found two files that were not caught and were on the system two months -- as P2P-Worm.Win32.Polip.a (Disinfection Failed) – so I deleted them from the hard drive.
The following is the report from BOCLEAN:

I am concerned that these Trojan, adware and malware files are still on my system (from running PREVXCSIFREE) and I desire to remove them – how do I do it safely and completely?
Thank you for your assistance,
James Thomas
