Hi FwF,
I dfid not cleanse that machine, that was done by the sys admin. He ran HJT, and indeed removed some entries from the registry, because the malware restored itself every 5 sec, idle processes went up to 99%, but I think that is due to the preveailing automatic update storage problem that Microsoft is confronting us with at the moment (evil tongues have it that this is a way to be able to abondon XP earlier to have people switch to Vista's sooner, but that may be nonsense). But it could well be that the two problems are not related,
