I'm kind of in the same boat myself. I have ran the following programs: SpyBlaster, Spy Sweeper, Spybot, AdAware, and run adwatch 24/7. On top of this I have made use of Norton Systemworks and the free house call at trendmicro.com. I have modified my registry to no end but I cannot get rid of any one of these programs. I have deleted programs and folders yet they still show up in my registry and I still get IE pop ups. This strikes me as odd, as I never ever use IE. But above all there is one program that I cannot get rid of because I cannot even find it!! It is called kalvdze.exe and is supposed to be in my system32 folder, I cannot find it at all!! I see it in my registry however as kalvsys, and as I have mentioned no amount of regedit will get rid of this or any other files listed in the registry. I have one last hope before resorting to that god of all commands though! I will post my hijack this log and see if there is any hope for my current install of XP Pro.
R.I.P. Pete! I can't believe you're gone.
