I had the same problems with Downloader-YH on my Windows XP media center computer running McAfee anti-virus. The trojan was re-loading itself on startup even after having been deleted by McAfee. It would not go away. I tried Spy Subtract, which found and removed a number of adware/trojans that I didn’t know I had, but it did not solve the Downloader-YH problem. I tried running both McAfee and Spy Subract in safe mode, doing full-system scans for each, to no avail. I finally tried (because of recommendations in this thread) Trojan Hunter, which I got for a 30-day free trial, and voila! It seems to have worked (note: I did a full system scan and removed the trojans it found). I’ve done several startups since then and the downloader trojan has not yet returned. Thanks for your recommendations.
