No, I did not mean to change to Linux. You can view the filesystem using an Ubuntu Live disk. I was not sure of your level of use and know Gnoppix is easy to use. 7.10 will show the filesystem as "Windows" and you should then be able to browse/delete what is broken. Since it is a RAM disk, it will be a bit slower, but after reboot will not have affected your system.
(I am an Ubuntu user but I have an XP hard drive still accessable in my machine. MrsB has threatened me with bodily harm if I install Ubuntu on her machine! )

Well, before moving on you should run both the virus scanner and the spyware scanner in safe mode... Go with the spyware scanner first.
Also I would try an online virus scanner as the one you have might just be missing it (same with spybot)

Also shut down system restore first and shut down the internet connection...
BTW is this PC networked with other PCs or is it on a wireless network? And do you have a firewall running?

spybot dont work, and hijackthis said it fixed it but it didnt. it stays gone until i run any install exe of any kind.
any ideas? i find nothing about this except a ton of people are having the same problem. i have even put in new hard drives in both computers, and it came back on both. when it starts to run you cant run any kind of virus, spyware program. nor can you do the task manager to stop it.

Try searching the system registry for those keys. Turn off system restore too before doing this. Run Hijack this in safe mode then try to remove those two entries again

This is weird. So when you go to the location where the files are supposed to be you don't see them? is "show all files" clicked?
If you can find the files you can send it to the virus scanner company maybe or to spybot.
Did you post that you found it on the internet in prefetch? Maybe send that file too
Check your shared folders and see if there are an increase in files there you did not place.

I have found sometimes if something weird like that shows up, if I just go delete all the cookies and other stuff on internet options. Most of that stuff goes away after that. Don't know if it will help you or not, but hope so! ( ^ :
