I know it is a pain to have to backup your data (something you should be doing anyways) and then re-load all of your software. Speaking from experience, it is a sure-fire method.
It also has some added benefits of weeding out all of the unused software. I recently did an upgrade and had a stack of all the old software I had been using on the old system. Instead of loading it all, I waited until I needed it. I still have about 5 CDs that I have not loaded. Looks like I wasn't using those programs.

Agreed. that's why I said:

I've got a clean XPsp1 install Ghost image ready to rock and roll, but I thought I'd give it one more shot here on the TFP.

have you disabled the messenger service?
i'm working on some machines now that have a bugger of a trojan installed and really tricky spyware... so tricky that it tricks spybot into "ignoring" it when it scans.
you really should make sure that when you are scanning (with spybot, adaware, or anti-virus), that you make it as thorough as possible. use heuristics, scan archives, deep registry, etc.

soopafreak, I'm doing all this. I've run the deep scans, disabled messenger. I suspect I've got the one you mention, which is ignored by everything that scans it. I'm not at home now, so I'll have to post Hijack later this evening. Will do as soon as I'm home.
thanks guys!
