I know a way but it's too hard on users. It also requires the full Microsoft issued DVD for the OS which most don't have.
There's a free lesson there.

I have been reading about the type of trojan virus known as the "Alureon" trojan so I can know more about it. It apparently is supposed to be hard to remove and a rootkit, but when I had Microsoft Security Essentials and after a full scan, I had three and they were all deleted and never returned. I would like to know if I had an early stage trojan, had a defective one, ETC. Because I find it interesting that such a deadly trojan virus was so easy to remove. I have also scanned with Malwarebytes afterward and it did not show up. Strange.
