Trojan Removal Help

[Starman]

Hi,

I seem to have picked up some nasty viruses on my computer. I have Spayware
Doctor and Avast all installed and it removes the trojans but they seem to
reappear upon reboot. The trojans are:

Trojan-Proxy.Slaper
Trojan.Packed.PCPack

Please help with advise on how to remove safely.

I have to add there is also another trojan along with these two called
"riskware Invader" that is some how locked in with my computer logon exe.

1. You will get better advice in a newsgroup for
viruses and malware than here (XP Basics.)
2. To understand how mallware "seems to reappear"
we need concrete information how your XP PC behaves.
Virus removal routines sometimes leave behind file
calls to (removed bad) files that appear as error messages.
Do you get bogus error messages or does the PC
really fail to do what you command?

I ran spybot yesterday and it fixed over 100 files, rebooted and no i get
"cannot find logon.exe"...i went to safe mode, ran spybot again and avg, and
then also avast...reboot, and still no logon.exe pops up. Looked in startup
registry and saw kernalfaultcheck%dumpo or something like that. Removed that
but keeps coming back. My taskbar, is gone, my search is disabled, my system
restore wont work, and cannot get online...what is the log.exe virus and what
else do i need to look for to remove it?

kernalfaultcheck% should read kernelfaultcheck%

Very hard to tell when computer is not in front of me. But after what you have
posted ,I would flatten and rebuild the system.
I cannot advise you of anything else in your situation.
