You provided some names of common malware but not what files are infected and you say "...when I reboot they're back." So the question is, what files are found to be infected by what malware upon reboot ? Please be specific with your answer such as fully qualified name and path to the files deemed to be malicious as well as what anti malware program found them. Log snippets would help. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
