Based on DavidR's post, I would say yes.

the last post on page one says that duel is an alias

at least you could look for the registry keys and take it from there.

Try DrWeb CureIT! (as recommended by NickGolovko)

http://download.drweb.com/drweb+antivirus+free+services/

If that fails you will need to follow the instructions here:

Kill the running process with Process Explorer as described and edit the registry as recommended.

If DrWeb is successful, you would still be well advised to reverse the registry changes made by the worm.

Tried the trend micro and the Duel wasnt in the process tree.  Now what?

[FreewheelinFrank]

From the Trend Micro page:

On computers running all Windows platforms, if the process you are looking for is not in the list displayed by Process Explorer, continue with the next solution procedure, noting additional instructions.

Anyone know how to restart into safe mode from the command promt?  I need to know becaue my F8 doesnt work because of this god damn virus and I want it out!!  Please help.

I honestly can't see how this virus can be active before windows is up and running, so I can't see how it can stop you interrupting the boot sequence. You need to keep pecking away at the F8 key like a demented woodpecker to catch it before it gets into a routine boot sequence.

The problem may well be hardware related, if you have a USB keyboard, which unless the BIOS/CMOS settings are set to recognise USB devices before the OS is loaded, it might not be recognising the keyboard input. If you have a ps2 keyboard you could plug that in and reboot and see if that allows you to interrupt the boot.

You could also check out this google search and see if there is anything listed that might help restart into safe mode from the "command prompt"
