I use Hijack This. It found whataboutadog and adoginhispen in my “trusted zone.”
Tried several things including SmitFraud (that did absolutely nothing) and Trend Micro PC-cillin, which didn’t find the whataboutadog.
Nothing worked until I got Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for FREE. It cleaned out several Trojans and when it did, the whataboutadog disappeared.
