Try this :

Try use Doctor Web CureIT free antivirus scanner. Drweb cureit able to detect bro_act virus as Win32.HLLW.Broact.

Steps: (This step is from SpywareInfo forum)

* Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe
Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
Once the short scan has finished, Click Options > Change settings
Choose the "Scan"-tab, remove the mark at "Heuristic analysis".
Back at the main window, mark the drives that you want to scan.
Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:

This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
Close Dr.Web Cureit.
Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.

For USB drive, I recommend you to format it.

Remeber to Turn off your system restore and Turn in on again to flush away all the files inside.

IFSECURE.COM , just need to download a file and it will scan your computer . this is free

Bro-Act takes over my blues in a higher level yesterday. Gone thru a few websites suggesting on using "Hijack This". The problem is tat there's still alot tedious steps to go wid. Friedice program can detect Bro-Act but if ur machine got tis virus, u simply couldn't open any anti-virus for scanning.

It seems like a serious threat to me and finally I have decided to format my PC. Next time better becareful when u realised tat ur anti-virus is not active in ur toolbar and u go plugged in ur USB drive. I think tats what drive it to activate the virus. Mad
