I nuked Bonjour. Right now the thing is playing some pretty jamming jazz. Some guy is saying "Banquet.com b-b-Banquet.com" . Now... its playing 90s hip hop. Haha...
Ha, I didn't think deleting Bonjour would have any effect. Bonjour.exe is an Apple process, and unless an antivirus software tells you that the executable file is infected, deleting it is rather pointless.
I noticed your thread in the Viruses forum, so good luck! Your best bet is the moderator crunchie, who helps pretty much everyone there clean up their systems. If he can't fix your system, there's probably no hope. Reformatting, as jbennet already stated, would be the easiest option.

I've got a pretty cool setup btw, Joe. Have a Slackware virtual machine and going to get a Gentoo. I've just never seen anything like this, and I've been using computers for years.
Update: I just reran Hijack this and did as directed in the virus forums, and I ran Vondofix and rebooted. I connect to the wireless network, and it starts playing the Lone Ranger tune.

Well, it looks like crunchie's replied to your post again with more instructions.

When my pc first got infected it would play almost nonstop. The computrer was very laggy and loaded amazingly slow. It took 4-5 minutes to boot.
Since I've got some fairly decent security set up, I've managed to eliminate the bulk of the trojans. It was hundreds of bad files, trojans and viruses on the system. I destroyed the stuff that was slowing the computer down.
I've been able to, with the help of good tools and patience, destroy the spyware, etc... And I thought I was scotch free. The virus has been singing ever since the beginning and hasn't shut up for a month and a half.

Good for you. Gentoo and Slackware are a couple of my favorite Linux distros.

Well I know for certain that's not it. Even though "When u save" could lean a bit towards the adware side... it came weeks after the audio issue. I've made a brief synopsis for people to see what's going on; there's another post in the virus forum that has the exact same problem as I do.

............................................................................
What I have used:
XoftSpy SE
Adaware SE
Active Virus Shield (Kaspersky)
Kaspersky web edition
Zone Alarm(firewall, virus scan, and security suite with highest settings)
Port blocker ( when I blocked the port the program was using it automagically changed its own port all with no sight of itself in any process menu!!!)
Windows Task Manager
Symantec Task Viewer
Hijack this!
Vundofix.exe
and Combofix.exe
.............................................................................
The program cant be seen in safe mode, either.
