>>Good advice, but having tried unsuccessfully to clean a friend's computer of nasty spyware and trojans, the only real answer is to backup all the crucial data and reinstall XP.<<

Did you shut down java and active X while you were working on cleaning it up. If not, you can't succeed because the trojan will continue to script itself.

Should Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware also only be run in safe mode? Just curious. Thanks.
