From some quick searching, thats one nasty virus you got there. Just about every discussion seem to end in a complete format solution which for many people is never an option.
Since the virus seems to be selectively disabling common tools which could've potentially removed it, you can try using uncommon tools like process explorer (sysinternals), powershell, etc to terminate the process.
If that doesn't work out, you could try booting in safe mode and then installing some anti-virus like AVG which can run in safe mode to weed it out. I doubt the virus will be able to function properly in safe mode.
There are also plenty of anti-virus solutions that can scan the computer directly from a webservice/activex control such as BitDefender.
If possible, can you provide a detail Hijack! This log of the infected computer?

As I stated before, I do not have first hand experience with this virus. I was just giving you generic suggestions. I never insisted to go as far as to format your PC. That would be the last step and I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
Try out my other suggestions.
I find very little information about this virus. I do have some experience in writing low level trojans and viruses. If you could give me the source of the virus, any link or the actual infected file itself, then I can learn more about it by infecting my own computer and possibly come up with some code to remove it.
You can just e-mail me with the file: jetblazer@jetblazer.com (make sure to package/compress it with winzip or something, else it will most likely get caught in some filters)Wednesday, May 14, 2008 5:47 AM -
thank for reply again
yes you are right i have downloaded one file in zipped format and then run that file
after that i got this problem
and i have deleted that source also. it was in exe format which is zipped.
i think i run that file directly to my computer so that my computer infected badly other wise this kind of impact to computer is not possible directly
by the way i not remember exactly from where i have downloaded that file but i will search and post here
i installed bit defender only this antivirus is allowed to install in my system i tried quick heal also but it is not installed that
when i scan with bit defender it stopped working after just few files scans

From what I hear, Ahsan disables any executable after a while. So, any anti-viruses (unless it can run below user mode) will be useless.
This blog post seems to be just about the only solution to remove the virus permanently: http://techspec-gec.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-caught-you-mr-ahsan-remove-ahsans.html
The details are a bit fuzzy but there is an exe (SDFix) which apparently removes the virus anyway.
If it still doesn't work out, can you add me in any IM to discuss this in detail?

I do have another solution given to me by a friend. He has asked me not to post the solution in public since the author of the virus might be able to find a work around to the problem. If you could give me some way to contact you (e-mail, IM), I'll forward you the solution.Friday, June 13, 2008 3:09 PM

Salena,
wow.. took you two months to finally get rid of it.
I think most of the computer user must learn how to restart computer in a safe mode. Most of the viruses (almost all) can be removed using the safe mode boot method.
