16bit problems in XP

I expect that I have a virus / trojan on my computer, since I can't use 16bit programs anymore in XP and my computer became very slow.
After installing Adware and removing a trojan (Exploit ByteVerify), I copied the autoexec.nt, config.nt and command.com. The trojan keeps coming back and I can't solve the problem. I turned off System Restore in XP.

There is also a program which I never installed: "preview adservice" and if I delete it, it returns after restart.

Please help me out, since this is really anoying...

Attached is a screendump after a Adware scan.

regards,
Ties

Please Click here!, and follow the recommendations in the guide.

If you're still having trouble, We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool, Hijack This. Follow the instructions in step five of this guide, and post your log as a new topic in the Hijack This forum. It will get a better response there from the people most qualified to analyze logs.

Most of what Hijack This lists lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

As there has been no response from the original poster, this topic is now closed. If you have any other problems, please post a new topic.
