Do a search for Mike Linns start up utility.
I have used it to get these things turned off.
He has not updated it in a few years, but I used to
use it all the time.
Yes, these things are a bugger, and I would spend hours getting them off customers computers.

Go online and download Malwarebytes AntiMalware software. I had this same type of rogue anti-virus on my computer and my computer guy downloaded this software and got rid of it completely. I use Spyware Doctor anti-virus software and it got past that as well. Good luck!

Google “XP Smart Security Virus” and there will be a list of sites that can help you remove it for free. I had the same problem last year (I think they called the program by a different name) and it took me a couple tries.
I feel for you in this - it’s a complete pain in the neck.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure you're doing a complete reinstall? That should have absolutely ground zeroed your PC.
I'm sure other people will have more in depth ideas, but I'd fall back to a restore point as my first approach.

I would like to get my big grubby mitts around the necks of the folks who write these programs.
To: big black dog
You have a rootkit. I am getting better at killing them, but they invariably take about 1 - 2 days to remove.

Wow, reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling the OS
usually does the deal. Could be it's lodged in an email, program or website that you reaccessed after the cleanup.
To: big black dog
You say you’re wiping your drive and reinstalling. If what you mean by that is that you’re “formatting” the drive and reinstalling, then the virus will not survive that. If you’re simply telling the windows installer to reinstall over an existing Windows, that may not get rid of the virus.
Assuming you are formatting the drive.... it could also be located on a second hard disk, if you have one. Though you’d have to execute it yourself for that to happen once you have reinstalled windows.
Or... you’re browsing the internet with IE and allowing it to run Java/Flash/Active x/etc, and being reinfected when you visit the wrong web page. Suggest using FireFox and the NoScript plugin for that.
