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.
google hits for "kalvsys"
Looks like this is not that uncommon. Kalvsys appears to rewrite itself every 3 seconds or so into the registry. One of those links should detail removing it.
