In ZA's logs and programs list, do you find anything about this malware?
Something that would allow you to locate it? Try running HijackThis and
post your log at one of the permitted sites (not this newsgroup) below.
I suggest the Aumha forums since the people there are friendly and
extremely expert.

Also please note that although I am very sympathetic to your plight,
crossposting to so many newsgroups is not a good idea. Usually four is
the top limit.
