he said he's already done that to no avail. I would suggest just doing a HJT log if non of the scanners seemed to help.

also, try disabling the Messenger service in XP...

You should start your own thread to ease confusion.

--- It might be easiest to do another fresh install. Bear in mind that it is best to have your patches, AV, Firewall, Anti-spy apps in place BEFORE connecting to the Internet. I realize that the patches can be a bit difficult if you don't slipstream - but they should definitely be top priority.

If you'd rather hold off on the clean install, please run the MBA-M and DSS steps listed in the linky below and submit the requested scanlogs in your new thread:
Read me before posting a request for assistance

  • Please post the DSS extra.txt as an attachment to your post using the “Manage Attachments” button (scroll down when composing your post).
  • Hold off on posting the Uninstall List. The DSS extra.txt ought to suffice.

Best Luck :)
