A real dodgy way of doing it would be to search the registry for the name of the icon. it might help. Also, search all directories for the last modified date. And you could get a better antivirus program to check for trojans

Ewww...It sounds like you've gotten Klez. I've gotten that too...my condolences.
Thankfully you're still on the net. When I was infected by Klez, it was disguised as a Starcraft map file (I run a starcraft site by the way, so map submissions are common things). And it killed my internet connection.
If I could've gotten online, I could have used a Virus Scanner with up to date virus entries, for free. I suffered a great fate by losing my internet. Don't let the same happen to you.

And I can tell by simple way. It tell me lets say, 2.8 GB is full but when I select all files and press "propeties" it says it takes ONLY 1.8 for example.
That's actually normal, and it happens with all hard drives. Â The first reason is that hard drive manufacturers usually "cheat" a little bit with the numbers. Â For example, a GB contains 1,073,741,824 bytes. Â HD manufacturers round that down to 1,000,000,000 bytes when they make their numbers. Â So, for example, a drive that contains 21,474,836,480 bytes they call a 21.4 GB drive even though it's really only a 20.0 GB drive. Â Your operating system uses the correct number, so it will say that this is 20.0 GB. Â Also, most operating systems use a lot of overhead for laying out the file system, and this space gets taken out of the total. Â So you could have a "21.4 GB" drive that gets full when your OS says there's only 17 or 18 GB of stuff on it. Â It's completely normal and happens with EVERY hard drive.

This is a known problem with most file systems, especially Windows FAT. Most file systems allocate file space using blocks of a fixed size  (usually 4, 8, 16 or 32 KB). If the file system contains a lot of small files (UQM is a notorious offender, if you aren't using zipped content (hey, I managed to get this thread on topic )), you end up wasting a lot of disk space by storing small files in large blocks. A more detailed description can be found here. That has nothing to do with what he's talking about.  The slack space is included when you check the file properties.

Sage, What is BKDR SDBOT.GEN? The housecall can't remove it because it is in c:\winnt\system32\cmst.exe file.
According to this page and many others, no cmst.exe is targetted for infection by BKDR SDBOT.GEN. In fact, I can't even find a page on the net with the string "cmst.exe". That being the case, I'd say just outright delete the file. Or you can quarantine it somehow.
Also: If it says a file can't be cleaned, there is a "Delete" button there that you can use to, you guessed it, delete the file. Next time you scan with that, I recommend you delete any files it can't clean. It's safer that way, methinks.
