HI everyone!

I want to thank you all ahead of time for help. I am in a pickle.

I seem to have the Trojan NTOSKRNL-HOOK.

I remove it with McAfee in safe mode and then restart... the system immediately gives me 2 buffer overload warnings, saying that McAfee has halted two overloads from occuring. Then, about 30 seconds later I get an error message that says that due to a "DCOM Server process launcher error" my computer has to restart. And then it starts a 60 second countdown and does just that. When I restart it in safe mode again, once again, the trojan is back. And now, McAfee is disabled. It will perform a scan...if you keep trying. And it catches the trojan, if I am in safe mode only. But there is no active protection and it's telling me that the buffer overload and active scanning setting are turned off do to an error it's suffering.

I suspect the restart is instigated by some rotten little orphan file that reinstalls the virus upon restart.

Here is my log file. It's not long, I just reinstalled XP on this computer a few weeks ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
