Immediate help needed

Ok so i have had this weird program that starts up every once in a while process is called winsnys.exe and its application is called GameMaker which i have not downloaded and it will keep opening itself up and continue this for a while till something happens that makes it stop or i restart my computer then everything is fine for a few days. I have found where the file is but every time i delete it it will re-create itself or if i try to change its properties it will create another file to fix it. My AVG found two registry keys related to the file but when i delete or modify it they instantly are fixed. Any help is appreciated.

Try a different AV (Kaspersky's trail, MS SE, Panda...) or go ninja on it. Safe mode & stuff + killing every daemon, process you can find and raping your startup / registry whilst trying to keep everything from falling apart. If you know the locations of all the files belonging (not just the one being run) just try a live session Linux and delete the virus from there.

correctumundo. safe mode is going to be your best friend in any situation like this. in sounds like your phantom winsys is a virus or something of the sort but the 'regeneration' is nothing new. viruses almost always have multiple restore points so they can do exactly that but there are a bunch of sources that you can use to combat this. i'm a big fan of regrun (greatis, etc). you can send them a detailed report of your tasks, both visible and background, and if they find something, you can use their reanimator program to essentially make a system restore point where the virus doesnt exist. they also do a scan immediately after the bios loads so the chance of the virus in question hiding in the windows script is 0. good luck man.

theres this program called i think file assasin and it [perma] deletes locked files ect... you might be able to delete some exe's or whatnot to corrupt it/make it not fuctional...
