Chris,

> Well, the best plan would be to wipe your hard drive and start over, but
 Agreed.  

  1. Wipe drive with DBAN, then re-ghost from a clean LKG.gho ... seems the better-authored malware does a great job of hiding.
  2. I'm not a big Zone Alarm fan, but if anything pops up, it usually has to have permission to connect, thus giving itself away.
  3. Build a (GPL) Smoothwall.org stand-alone firewall, monitor it's web proxie logs, and firewall logs. All ports over 1024 automatically blocked. The built-in Snort is useful, as well. Linux based, even a Win guy can have a 3-nic sytem built and online in ~30 minutes.
  4. Additionally, have a look at http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml

 ***Startup Control Panel is compatible with all modern versions of Windows, including Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP.  

 Allows you to see HKCU, HKLM, Run-Once, etc. Useful to keep other apps from launching, aside from critters ;)  

 Good Hunting and remember, it' s only my .02,  /b
