    Trojan Horse Keeps coming back!

    Hello,

    I have a small problem with a trojan that keeps coming back for some strange and wacky reason.

    spool64.dll - backorfice2000 (Inacolate IT keeps finding it and deleteing it(also it only comes back after i reinstall windows not when i like restart or sumthing)

    also i find it on startup in MSCONFIG.

    but everytime i reinstall windows (AND FORMATTED!) its back! I have a thought thats its implanted in my memory or something

    specs:

    AMD athlon 1000@1200
    asus A7V
    IBM 75GXP 30GB 7200RPM
    IBM 75GXP 60GB 7200RPM
    256MB mushkin memory 2-2-2
    350watt PS
    OEM soundBlaster Sound Card
    ATI rage fury 32MB Video Card


    is there a way to fix this?

    thanks,

    I think it's too big to fit on a boot disk in addition to the other files. I could be wrong, I'll check the size when I get to my second system.
    Another explanation would be that your unknowingly re-infecting your system by re-installing something that contains the trojan.
    Try downloading "The Cleaner" and do a thorough scan of all files. http://www.moosoft.com/

    If you do think it is somehow staying in memory, then you could format with a known good boot disk that has been write protected, then after the format turn your system compleatly off for a couple minutes to clear everything out of the RAM.
    Best of luck,
    Dave
