I just Zero Filled my drive and reinstalled Windows XP (IE6) and all
the updates. With Google and some other sites, Internet Explorer
keeps asking if I want to turn the AutoComplete on. I keep saying no,
then it asks me later. Whats up with this? How can I answer the
question permanently? Also, Is this re-questioning evidence of a
trojan horse in the system? My AV software isnt picking it up, but I
have seen it in the past when AV software wasnt installed.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

Here's something else about NAV that you may not be aware of:

The only folder under that is SystemCertificates and if I click on
Microsoft, there is just a single default icon
