There's so much good information on these pages, but I'm still stuck with a problem, and was hoping for some help. I've been running Symantic Antivirus, and it recently picked up a few files infected with trogans, and download.trogans. All it has been able to do with them is to stick them in quarantine. I'm wondering if there is a way to get rid of these permanently. Prior to my anti-virus picking these up, i was having trouble on startup. My computer seemed to hang up on startup, and occasionally I would get a blue screen and it would restart on its own. A couple of times I couldn't get it passed the log-on screen at startup.
The files being quarantined are:
msph.exe
crpe32.exe
javabk32.exe
crrm32.exe
sb.exe
jlqewl.dat
sysue32.exe
Here is a recent HijackThis log (though I usually use netscape, not IE)
