    Hi

    I'm not sure what trojan it is, but it keeps installing the setiathome virus
    (berkeley seti project) - it ends up firing up 'idle.exe' and a couple of
    instances of a 'svchost.exe'.

    I've got all the latest patches, trojanhunter, etc etc, symantec antivirus
    and got installed yet again.

    Any ideas on how I can find the weakness / cause of this ?
