Hi Chamber. Thanks for the response. Since no one was able to reply until now I had to take alternative action to try to save my computer. I was quickly losing control and the virus was taking over. As a last resort I had a representative from Dell dial into my computer and clean off the rootkit.agent. It took him over an hour using a combination of DOS commands and a wide variety of programs (Prevx CSI, Trojan Remover, etc), but he was able to clean everything up and I have been virus free for the past 3 days. Malwarebytes, a-squared, AVG, and those other programs I just mentioned are all coming up completely clean now - finally. It cost me $100 BUT WAS COMPLETELY WORTH IT and saved my HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS of work trying or reformating. The Geek Squad at Best Buy also can dial into your computer and do this as well. TOTALLY WORTH IT, at least so far.
