peper trojan

[Guest]

I,m running xp home and have had trouble getting rid of peper trojan (and some of its friends). I use CA E-trust(which didn't find it) , AdAware(which says it cleans it out) and webroot spysweeper....the last 2 keep cleaning registry changes but say IE is running (when I don't have it runnig). So I tried to go to taskmanager to see whats running and it starts but then closes quickly.So I can't use it...I've found this happens with trying to run regedit as well. so then I think to go to system restore...it does the whole thing and reboots only to tell me it is unable to go to the restore points...I tried this with several dates and none work! I'm getting pretty frustrated...I update all my stuff every day and this creepy thing is still in my machine....don't know when to go from here....HELP

Using the file location , boot using Safe Mode and delete the file from it's
present location. Jym

I tried this method to get rid of the original file...I suspect there are changes to my registry key and can't get to regedit or taskmanager to see whats running(they start but blink out before you can use them)....I tried to system restore in safe mode as well but it wouldn't work....

is it posible that the trojan is gone but changed something the "closes" regedit, taskmanager & system restore? Should I throw out old restore points as they may be infected?Thanks for all your sugestions by the way,
