Hello,

My computer is being completly dominated by a virus that I know very little about and am having alot of trouble fighting. Originally Windows Task Manager would open for a second and then close, so I belived it to be a service called "windows drivers 32" which I disabled in my services.msc. Then my internet works for a few minutes when I reboot my computer, however soon taskcntr.exe appears in my processes and the internet stops working. So I disabled TaskESV in my services. However the problem still exists. More troubling is that I cannot install any programs because the computer will stop responding halfway through installation. I ran Panda (sine I cannot install daware or spybot or any thing like that) and it said that I had 2 types of Hacker tools on the computer before it again crashed.

The worst part is that I have now reformated 3 times. I have two hardrives, (C: and a D: for media) and I am reformating the C: drive simply by going through the XP setup disk and deleting the partition. Everytime I log on the computer for the first time, the problems begin happening again. I have no idea how to beat this.


Any help would be greatly appreciated b/c I am beginining to think I will need to buy a new computer :tazz:

HJT log )program crahed halfway through, but I think the log is complete):

Although I have deleted it multiple times (From safe mode) and shut off it's service, the file "windrvrs32.exe" always appears in C:\WINDOWS as well as "taskcntr.exe". This must be the problem.
