I recently received notice by my computer that this file was found and was "high risk". I ran a complete scan of the computer and even downloaded a few different spyware/malware programs to try to get rid of the bug. Nothing has worked. It shuts down all sorts of processes at random (including windows explorer) and has slowed my computer down considerably.Any help with this subject would be much appreciated, I'm completely unsure as to how this bs even got on my computer in the first place, but getting rid of it would be a big help.Jesse

Though this did help in removing other issues on my computer that I was aware of (nothing serious), I tried everything you listed and nothing seems to pick up on NETSKY's appearance on my computer. I have read that its possible to manually remove the worm, but any time I try opening files in relation to it Windows explorer shuts down and I have to reboot my system. Any other suggestions?
