Any suggestions on how I can delete it?
Thanks,
i did a scan, removed the files and he said that he would remove a file when my pc starts because then it isnt active jet.
Then i did another scan and removed the last files.

I hope this helps you
I also found the file tvm_b5_269.exe that is read as a virus by symantec antivirus software. The program is located in the internet explorer temporary file. The file also produces other programs that affect your computer. The file originates at the 2nd-thought.com website. I can't get rid of the file, so if anyone knows how that would be great to know. The file is not allowing my internet explorer to open and is slowing down my computer (CPU usage at 100%).
The infective program is found at 2nd-thought.com and is the domain is registered to this guy:
