    Can you please empty your TEMP files by doing the following:

    Open up Internet Explorer

    Click on Tools

    Internet Options

    General TAB

    Temporary Internet Files

    Delete Files

    Delete All Offline Content.

    This should clear out what you are seeing.

    Hope this helps.

    Let us know how you go...

    Cheers :D

    Can you please follow the steps found in post number 2 here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=47830

    This is a very comprehensive cleaning procedure that will confirm your system is clean by the end of it.

    Let us know how you go...

    Cheers :D

    Do you have your browser set to empty the cache upon closing it? That would explain why IMON finds it during use of your browser and NOD32 not finding it during a demand scan.

    Hi kidkhaos,

    Try navigating to the C:\Documents and Settings\kidkhaos\Local Settings\Temp folder and delete the contents. Make sure you close any browsers first. If that fails, try it in Safe Mode.

    There is also a very good program that I use called Crap Cleaner for cleaning out all temp files.

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers :D

    If you are using Firefox (as you say you are) be sure to clear cache (Tools-Options-Clear Cache) before using Crap Cleaner. If you don't and you are using Yahoo or Hotmail email, it will screw up your settings--royally.

    cheers for all your help, i discovered what it was that was setting it off, it was some zip files from sun sytems (java), i did what Blackspear, said for a 6th time (yes it was pi**ing me off that bad), and on the 6th time it picked up some java files as viruses and gave me the option to quarentine, but not delete so i had to delete the files my self in safe mode, booted up did a scan and no nod32 pop virus warning :D, thxs for all ya help,

    but still dont know why they set ot off?!, maybe the werent trojans as my system werent really sluggish or my downloads going slow o_Oo_O

    Good to see you had a result, and thank you for keeping us in the loop as to your progress.

    A little late, I know, but for future reference, if you are using Sun Java, you can navigate to the Control panel, double click Java (found when viewing control panel in 'classic mode' in XP), and then click the "Delete files" button in the General tab.

    See this thread which explains it completely

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=54219

    It's because adaware is examining the files and the folder they are being found in is the adaware temp folder which is deleted as soon as adaware has finished scanning
