malware returns after reboot

Hi. A virus appeared on my computer a few days ago and I've not been able to get rid of it, yet.

In fact, I think it's expanded and let in a lot of other viruses, DyFuca and Elite Toolbar among

them.

AVG, Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy all seem to clean things up until I reboot, at which

point they all come back. I got the ETremover by SimplyTech, which claims to do the right thing

where others will not...but it failed the reboot test, too. I am worried that the malware will eat

away at my machine and cause real damage if I keep rebooting and letting them return, inviting

more malware along the way.

Since all the tools (Adaware, Spybot, AVG and ETremover) seem to at least be able to give me a

clean session so long as I don't reboot, I've decided not to reboot my machine until everything's

solved. Problem is, I can't seem to get on-line anymore, which I'm guessing is a side-effect of

one of the malware's unhappiness with being removed.

After running those free anti-virus apps, I looked at windows\system32 files that had recent dates

of when the virus activated. Some files are definitely bad (like bling.exe which none of the

anti-virus stuff removed for some reason) but I am not sure of the others: I'm guessing the names

that seem jumbo-ed up (like 2p2nqrd4.dat) are auto-generated and are probably bad stuff? I've

moved them all to a flash drive so they're off my system but I am worried I won't be able to

reboot since a couple of the files may not be viral - they just have date stamps that are

suspiciously from a couple of days ago. Could they have been infected? The files are:

msvcp71.dll and winbd32.exe. Should I leave them? In other words, will I have a problem

(rebooting) if I remove them?

Also, I did a HijackThis but cannot easily decipher the log. I'm guessing the O4 qhywaaf.exe is

bad...? Are the O10's and O20's all bad? Can anyone help?

I am on a Windows XP Tablet operating system, my laptop being a Fujitsu T3010 tablet computer with

a 1.4GHz Centrino processor and 760 MB RAM.

I just launched my little startup company a few days ago and have a lot of things to tend to so

the timing for this is really bad! :cry:

Thanks so much for any help!!!
