If that doesn't work, I have more last option, but I am not going to list it till the OP tries the others first.

I don't mean to argue with you, and I am sure you have removed it through other programs (gmer is also a good one). I have a lot of experience with this malicious software and have read hours on hours of bleepingcomputer logs to feel confident in my advice.

I too have extensive experience with this stuff in a work environment. I do use MalwareBytes quite a bit, but I've seen it detect and remove potions of FakeAV and leave other parts behind. Maybe the newer versions do a better job. Kaspersky very well may work. It is not one I've used so I can't comment on that either way. I know HitManPro will work and it's free. Either way I feel he has good advice from guys who've done this before, not just random "try this" suggestions from folks who are trying to help but don't have the background/experience.
