Trojan.TDSS won't go away

[rsa98]

Malwarebytes finds Trojan.TDSS in my computer.

Here is from the log : Registry Keys Infected : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\skynetpwixtbdw (Trojan.TDSS) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

Say the PC must reboot to complete the cleaning so I click yes. Computer reboots, I rescan and it's back. Same exact error.

Using Regedit I found the key SKYNETpwixtbdw in 4 registry entries :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\skynetpwixtbdw

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\skynetpwixtbdw

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet002\Services\skynetpwixtbdw

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet003\Services\skynetpwixtbdw

The CurrentControlSet is the only key showing the Trojan.TDSS infection

Also, I cannot delete (or rename) any of these keys manually. RegEdit says : error in deleting key

In researching at Symantec, I also don't seem to have any of the files associated with the Trojan.TDSS or the SKYNET registry entries on my hard drives (search from windows including hidden and system files)

Help, please.
