It will. If it returned once.... Okay, there are files there that I cannot see, to protect and regenerate malware. I suspect a rootkit, and this tool will flush out most problems:
==Download this file to your DESKTOP: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
.....or this file: http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe
-IMPORTANT! : disconnect from the web, turn off your Antivirus, Antispyware and Firewall for the duration of this scan. Don't forget to reset them before you go back on the web!
- to run it dclick the Combofix.exe icon and follow the prompts to start it. When finished, it will produce a log, C:\Combofix.txt - post that log in your next reply.
A word of caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs reboot to restore the desktop.

Just before starting the scan I was told to install that recovery console system but accidentally hit 'okay' before my net could reconnect :(
Wasn't sure if I should do another scan with the recovery console system installed... anyway, here is the scan report:

Good morning.
Installing Recovery Console is a precaution in case Combofix breaks your sys. If you have a bootable XP cd you do not need it on your hard drive- it is then just a convenience.
This one, c:\windows\OPTIONS\CABS\_desktop.ini is associated with various worms, virii. The other deletions were of SMitfraudfix files.
I see no other problems there.... you certainly threw some stuff at it.. :)
You can remove that AVG8 browser toolbar if you so wish... a space waste.
Tell me how things are, please.
