I have a computer that keeps getting a bunch of notifications at the bottom right of the computer.  This is just one example of the popup noitification from ESET. (see attachment)

 

I have admin rights to go in and delete this virus but I am at a loss on how to do this as this is my first virus removal attempt.

 

Any directions on how to do this??

 

Thank you for your help!

Moved thread here and I'd recommend checking out the removal tools we provide here hxxp://www.eset.com/us/download/utilities/

Please download and run the Poweliks cleaner.

Marcos, how were you able to pin down Poweliks as the threat? Someone just posted to the ESET Facebook page a screenshot with the exact same threat message.

I have downloaded the utility but when I try to run it, I get the following message from Windows: "These files can't be opened" "Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened."  Yes, I did restore the zone settings as shown.  It appears to me that your site has been added to the restricted zone list?  Please help.
