Thnx all for the help. I wound up doing a wipe and restore, I couldn't find much info on what files to look for.
While I am grateful to Avast for providing their software for free, I have to say I am dissapointed. It just didn't work. It seems a lot of the scanners just don't work nowadays. As a user, I don't give a hoot if it's a virus, or a hijack, or a trojan, I just want it off! The hackers are definetly winning the race now, it seems to me.
I don't see how any virus scanner can work without booting in DOS mode first, making a list of files on the system, and then comparing that to the list of files when the OS is running. That would spot rootkits right away. Even beter booting in Linux.
But, keep trying, it's a process.
thnx,
Xiaoding
