Need virus removal advice
Looks like our home PC has picked up a trojan virus, Kapersky has found this,
trojan-psw.win32.mifeng.fj
Any advice on how to get rid of it?
I've been running mcafee with the windows firewall. Ran spybot and malaware and neither found anything. I ran the online kapersky and it found the virus.
Done a google and I can find lots of tools to remove - at a cost..
Surely there's a cheaper way, given I'm supposedly
protected.

I would try AVG... Win32 is Internet related. there is one going around at the moment that hacks your isp and blocks you from Internet access. i would try to delete this before it gets to that stage.
Try AVG... also try Malware bytes *spelling*
other then that just keep googling. Yahoo usually has some helpful forum advice to virus detection

The virus creates this registry entry :
Locate it & zap it to prevent the virus starting on boot.
It drops this file :
Again, locate it & kill it.
Code:
# [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
* (Default) = "%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard\Explorer.exe"
It drops this file :
Code:
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard\Explorer.exe
