    I have had a file appear in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

    by the name of Xi.exe

    I have run Spybot, Adaware, Spywareblaster, Trend housecall etc.

    I have followed various instructions to remove it.

    It keep reappearing.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Nothing suspicious in your log.

    Copy notepad.exe to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents and rename it to Xi.exe

    Let us know what happens.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Did as suggested

    Search revealed:

    NOTEPAD.EXE-336351A9.pf C\WINDOWS 15KB PF File 18/08/2001 appears to emulate previous.

    Recyclers file shows many copies that I can't get rid of.

    Spybot, Trend, Adaware etc show nothing.

    Additional:

    Restore is disabled

    As well I disabled the Recycle bin.

    There is a file under C\Recycler S-1-5-21-1203752577-2552189465-2221179514-500 that Wrns me not to delete. I had gone to safe mode and successfully deleted all others but this one.


    Under search I still show:

    NOTEPAD.EXE C:\WINDOWS 65KB Application 18/08/2001 5:00 AM
    notepad.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32 65KB Application 18/08/2001 5:00 AM
    notepad.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache 65KB Application 18/08/2001 5:00 AM

    Note: this last dll is highlighted in blueo_O
