There is a "trojan horse" program in my PC that refuses to
be removed. I have tried Ad-Aware, Spy Bots and also
tried deleting it from the msconfig Startup tool system,
and searched for it in the registry, but I am unable to
remove it. I unchecked it in the msconfig Start up
program, but it reappears again with a checked box on a
new line in the list. It listed name is: 2N7NDTN44L@@AN,
and a command name in the windows system that changes each
time it returns in the Startup list, example
C:\Windows\system\OqxNq.exe. When I tried the Search
function, neither the listed name or command line name
produced any results. It constantly generates web page ads
on my pc. Is there any other method I can use to remove
it?. I suspect it was attached to a free copy of a
downloaded Grisoft AVG Anti Virus software. I have a
Presario Intel 4,1.7GHZ PC with 256RAM and Win ME.

Peace through understanding,
