This XP Professional Compaq Evo has a trojan or virus.

It was cleaned with;

1. Ad Aware
2. Spy Bot Search and Destroy
3. Microsoft Live One Care

Somewhere in the registry there is a startup or run command that created an
excutable file in the c:\Windows\Temp directory. But I cannot find it.

Here is the registry info relating to the new file found in the Temp folder
after each restart.

It probably has a guard file. Since I don't know how you cleaned (eg., did
you do prep work? scan in Safe Mode?), follow the general malware removal
steps at this link:

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do
all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.

When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums

Turn off and turn your system restore back on to flush the virus from the
restore folder.

Run a clean up tool to remove the other virus from other temp folders

DELL techie, I hope that's just your handle not your job. It comes close to
being rule one for malware removal...as well as downloading in
general..ALWAYS go to the source, even if innocently intended..spyware
fighter to trend micro gives more garbage double the chance to get in.
