Trojan Wont Go Away.

[Dcrockett]

I recently got the Exploit URLSpoof.gen trojan. I ran
virus scan and delete the file, but the virus scan does
not seem to clean up the registry. As soon as I try to use
Explorer again the trojan comes right back. It will not
let me change homepages (at least not after the first
try). I have tried SPYBOT, ADWARE, and HIGHJACKTHIS. Again
don't find the problem or they find the problem but not
the source. I notice one thing. I when into the WINNT
folder to backup a file and change a folder option. This
cause the virus to be trigger and my virus scan to catch
it again. Can anyone help me? I have been messin with this
for four days. I tried to go to W2K SP4, but it caused my
DSL to slow down to less than dial up speeds.

Dcrockett,
Go to: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware]

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates: "hijackthis.log")

Next, go to the below location:

Sign in, go to the "Spyware and Hijackware Removal" section.
Press "New Topic", copy and paste hijackthis.log into your new message.

Post back with the URL where you posted if you want help with your log.
