Don't know what else to do. Please help.

My computer became infected a few days ago. I am currently running ESET NOD32 Antivirus (no firewall) i also reguarly scan with both Adaware and Spybot S&D. Despite running all these applications and removing several files my problem still hasn't gone away.

One name that keeps reapearing is a file called Virtuemonde. Every time i run Spybot it find this file and deletes it but when i restart it is there again. I have tried doing a search on that name but as you can see from the symptoms listed below i can't search on google or yahoo etc.
I have used msconfig to disable all startups and non windows services. Deleted all temp internet files and cookies.

I am using Windows XP Pro with SP3 and IE. I also have Firefox version 2.0 but i have the same problems with either browser. All software including windows has all critical updates.

Current symptoms include:

1. Various websites do not load. For example i can't even do a search with google. The IE progress bar just ticks away and no search results are shown.
2. Microsoft Visual C++ Run time errors resulting in all browser windows shutting down.
3. Pop-ups.
4. (rarely) The windows taskbar disapears for a few seconds and then reappears.

Im not sure what else i can do. Please advise.

I would advice you to first Restore your system so that you don't get messed up your registry.

As I think you have tried to quarantine "Virtuemonde" by using your scanner. I can suggest you to go to Regedit and see if there is any entries that is made in win32 and other applications. it may be virtuemonde.exe or so. Delete it whereever the entry is made.

Also identify from the trojan is running and clear them. Also before you restart you system clear the recycle bin as well.

Thanks,
