    Hi. Perhaps you could post more information, such as a hijack this log, or even what antimalware software you have scanned your computer with. That would be great.

    Best Regards :D

    Hi eric

    I think that even though you have removed the trojan itself, it might be prudent to google the xp antivirus trojan and then see what other files or registry keys it creates. Then you can remove those files and registry keys.

    Best Regards :D
