No, the file tnotyoc.dll can not be found on the computer.
only a file named "tnotyoc" stored in %temp% folder
(regardless of which user logs on, of which I can not get
a file extension.

The only references I can find other than the file is in
regedit, two location

HKEY_local_Machine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversio
n/run ---> rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\System32:tnotyoc.dll,Init 1
&
HKEY_local_Machine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversio
n/runonce ---> rundll32
C:\WINDOWS\System32:tnotyoc.dll,Init 1

Now here is whats interesting! I boot in safe mode, it
runs. I edit the registry while in safe mode removing the
registry references, they come back - realtime - just
magically appear. I have repeated this process while
stopping processes in SAFE MODE??!! and the keys keep
coming back.

Since, I have installed and run: Hijack this, Spy Sweeper,
Adaware, Norton AV, McAfee Av, Norton Corp Edition AV,
Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Spybot and sheesh, more that I
can't recall ... noth8ing detects it as a virus, spyware
or adware. On top of that, I hav esearched newsgroups for
spyware and adware and read about 400 security alerts from
Symantec and Network Associates

I have now disabled system restore until I can find and
fix this problem

Any other suggestions?

Thx
