Persistent Virus keeps reinfecting, disables volume, and other net services.

[AHowe]

I think similar threads have been posted about this virus.

It disables your sound, flashes 98 theme then back to XP, sometimes it stays on 98. I've also discovered that it disables all processes that run C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs.

It doesn't seem to activate immediately in fact it activates randomly, sometimes 30 minutes up to hours.

The solution has been to reinstall the OS, that's all fine and dandy, but I'm currently on a network and it has a LAN P2P spreader that has infected all 6 computers on my network, including media center PCs. Needless to say, when I reinstall my OS I simply get reinfected within the week.

I think it's important to note that I've been infected twice and my AV picked up a file in C:/windows/system32 called dbgsys001.exe which I removed but I still got infected. I think it installs a rootkit of sorts. I'd be nice if you guys could help me figure out how to get rid of this thing without a system restore if possible, thanks.

Hi and welcome to daniweb,

The KEY to this is your own statement below:
I'm currently on a network and it has a LAN P2P spreader that has infected all 6 computers on my network, including media center PCs. Needless to say, when I reinstall my OS I simply get reinfected within the week.
We can clean your computer until "the cows come home" but it WILL continue to get infected if the entire network of computers is infected. You are not going to do any good just cleaning yours, they ALL have to be cleaned OR you have to disconnect your computer from this network and not reconnect until the entire network is clean. There really are no single computer options here. If you know absolutely the entire network of computers is infected then you have to clean them all to be completely free and clean.
