Symantec has a good description of how to remove this. Follow the steps they recommend! Boot in Safemode as Administrator, remove regentries, remove w\services.exe, w\s32\fservice.exe, w\s32\sservice.exe. Reboot again in Safemode, scan with antivirus, reboot with your normal user, SCAN AGAIN!, the files are 'owned' by your normal user account, this is not written somewhere, but I experienced it...

prorat really works as a hacking device.. but it create so many trojans.... this sucks! if you simply delete the file... it will create a boost up error on start up... really sucks!
Gabriel

is a prorat trojan,can't remove it with antivirus,you can remove with a trojan remover...or with prorat (i think...) be carefull while you have it...if you can't remove it just format your c: drive and reinstall windows or you might lose all data ,the prorat user can FORMAT your local drives so be carefull! the user of prorat can also play with yor pc (like eject ypur cd-rom, making yor windows start butto to dissapear and stuff...)good luck!
