everytime i start windows and sometimes during running windows i get an alert that reads:

C:\SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION\_RESTORE{159D80CF-7EDF-409A-A914-9E2489DA75D3}\RP16\A0012238.SYS

Is the Trojan horse TR/Rootkit.L

i choose to delete the trojan but it keeps on popping back up, can anyone shed some light on this please?

Thats pointing to system restore.
Temporary disable system restore , delete old restore points if needed and delete it again.

here are some more that keep on popping up


C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\RDRIV.SYS

Is the Trojan horse TR/Rootkit.L


C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\LOCALSERVICE\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\H9SB3VWX\CLEARLOGS[1].RAR

Is the Trojan horse TR/Dldr.Agent.JN.2


this one pops up EVERY time i start windows

C:\CLEARLOGS.EXE

Is the Trojan horse TR/Dldr.Agent.JN.2

What antivirus software are you running?

Click on "handy tools" in my signature and you can find a lot of useful tools like "Stinger" ; "AVG" ; and Microsoft malicious removal tool.
(Download and run in safemode)

Try those and also delete everything from your "TEMP" and "Temporary Internet Folder"

i usually run mcafee internet shield, the full works. but since my recent xp install i have for some reason started using zone alarm for the firewall and antvir, dont ask why. i intend on re-installing mcafee at some point though.

um, i believe i'm experiencing the same..except what i keep getting is this:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\RDRIV.SYS

Is the Trojan horse TR/Rootkit.L

...constantly. and i just can't get rid of it. suggestions maybe?

Download ewdio in my signature boot into safe mode and run it.. Let it delete everything it finds.. See if it cant get rid of it.
