Windows

I managed to catch a newish trojan that my Anti virus program wasn't able to detect.

I'm usually not that bad at technical stuff regarding computers but I really don't know what to do with this one anymore.

The trojan somehow managed to get my Windows to recover it every time I try to remove it by deleting it's exe (called some weird name located in Programs "asdza/saddasn.exe" (example only)). It also sets an entry in my autostart.

It starts a second explorer.exe and tries to connect to some server obviously trying to steal data. (glad I still have my firewall)

How can I get rid of this trojan, I really need help.

It is new and probably unrecognized by all major virus scanners.
