a friend with problems

No luck yet!!! I've tried everything suggested. I've used Pccillian, ad aware and AVG. It says that it's a Win32.TrojanDownloader.Agent.al and a ADW_SEARCHAID.A. I've gone into the registry and deleted what I could find by following pccillians suggestions but it still comes back. I've done all of this in reg and safe mode. The .exe files that it puts in the taskmanager change names every time I delete them. It has defeated me!. I'm gonna reinstall XP next week when i'm off for a few days. Mad The people that do this should really be brought up on criminal charges.

AdAware should find and remove the first one.
