No, I didn't. I just try to help you to get rid from it.
That sites have informations that you could follow.

Did you scan your system with avast?
Does your avast installation is updated?

To get the appropriate help. you should give more information about your computer system ... OS, etc.    ::)  

Have you tried starting your sustem in safe mode and then running a scan with avast?    ???

I'm using XP home, on ethernet modem.

With Zonealarm Free edition firewall.

Have used other software e.g. AVG, Trojan Hunter etc in safe mode and normal mode. no trojan found

However, used Adaware in safe mode. Found a "DSO exploit" which i deleted. however it gets back when i scan aGain

Right now, I can't do anything to this trojan with Avast at all

Can't even delete while in Safe mode

Try this:
Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open.

Close all open programs. Click Start -> Run and type "taskmgr"

Go to the Processes tab and End Process on "explorer.exe".

Leave Task Manager open. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory where the undeletable file is located in.

At the command prompt type DEL where is the file you wish to delete.

Go back to Task Manager, click File -> New Task and type "explorer.exe" to restart the GUI shell.

Close Task Manager.

I found this on google see:http://protools.anticrack.de/packers.htm#peshield

PE-SHiELD by ANAKiN [DaVinci]. 03.II.2000.
PE-SHiELD v0.25 (32K).

- Fixed a few little bugs on request and added some AD stuff.

PE-SHiELD is a program, which encrypts 32-bit Windows EXE files, leaving them still executable. The previous version was over a year in the wild and there is still no unpacker for it.
