McAfee keeps picking up the StartPage CZ trojan and
deleting it,, each time a different ".dll" name. I have
disabled System Restore a couple of times and run McAfee,
AdAware and Spybot and looked everywhere on my PC. I can't
find it,, so I presume it's getting in another way. I am
running the firewall that comes with XP with none of the
boxes checked. Any help out there???

Ken - I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I thought I'd chime in
since I have a similar issue.

I have the exact same thing happening on my XP Pro machine. I have run
McAfee and Spybott and both say my machine is clean. I have also used
HijackThis to scour startup entries and helperobjects and I can't find the
sucker. But like you, McAfee keeps picking up the StartPage CZ trojan and
deleting it, and each time it is manefest in a different .dll.

It strikes me that there must be a virus still residing on my maching that
is getting execution time when I startup or when I run IE. It feels tied to
IE in that so far I have never had the issue when IE is not running. But
it's only been an issue for a couple days so it's hard to tell yet.

Anybody got and ideas of additional things I can do to nail this puppy. I'm
a software developer so I'm pretty technical - just point me in the right
direction.
