[AT] Starting over

[charlie hill]

I hope you guys don't get into what I've been going through the last 2 days.
I accidentally clicked a link to a site the other night and it loaded a
bunch of very tough spyware on my system including three trojans that got
past my virus software somehow.  They are Blazefind.A, Delf.RA and
Alchemic.A.   All of them are fairly mild but they are spyware trojans that
redirect your browser.

I have run Trend Micro's house call to find the Trojans,  AdAware, SpyBot
Search and destroy, Spy Sweeper, and CCleaner several times.  I get it all
cleaned up and then BOOM there they are again.
I thought I had it licked but I am still getting a redirect everytime I go
on the web with IE.

Now I'm going to have to go to Windows Explorer and look for a newly
installed exe program that must be there sending me to the pop ups.   What a
pain.  I'd like to hang the hacker that caused all this.  The only way I can
stop it is to reset XP to a reset point before I went to that site.   I
could do that and just let it be I guess but I want whatever it is off my
system for good.
