If you removed just one trojan, chances are there are some others still lurking undetected. Once one of these guys get in, they usually invite some friends.
If you pass at least 2 up-to-date antivirus programs and antispyware scanners (4 scans total) when scanning in safe mode, chances are better that the system is clean. After that, if the problem persists, you want to see whether it affects a brand new administrator user that you have just created. If not, one fix for the problem would be to delete your user profile and allow it to be re-created. Beware of course, you may have important data files saved in your user profile, so save those before blowing it away. You will also have to re-customize any settings you've changed from defaults. If the problem continues with a brand new user, then I'd try a repair install of XP.

Somehow I was hit with a Trojan, and thought I had it all cleaned out, as my computer is working ok as of now. But here is the problem left: If you open My Computer and then right click the drive and go to the tools tab; If you hit the Check Disk button, nothing happens. It just winks at me. I have already run scans of the registry and the system32 directory with nothing found. I copied chkdsk.exe and chkntfs.exe files over from a sister computer but it didn't help. You can run the command line version of chkdsk and it works on the next re-boot nicely. Also copied over ufat.dll and untfs.dll but still no go. Does anyone have an idea as to what else the Trojan might have changed? Any help would be appreciated.
