virus blocking me as admin.

I lost my internet connection the other day and did what I normally do. Reboot, worked like it normally did but soon lost connection. Checked all wire connections, all good. Called my ISP and they say everything is working at their end.

Next I ran my antivirus programs Avast, Malwarebytes, Super Antispyware and Spyware Terminator. The only one to turn up anything was the ST saying that I had Generic FF-1 trojan. The problem is that it says I'm not logged in as administrator so it didn't remove it.

I next rebooted and ran the computer in safe mode. The results were the same thing. It wouldn't let me remove it because I wasn't logged in as administrator. I don't have any other accounts and the picture when you open start is the same as the administrator one that I changed it to, so I'm assuming I'm logged in as the administrator.

I'm running Windows Vista.

Thanks.......Archie
