Hello!
Thanks for taking your time to help me.
I posted in August last year in this thread and thought my problem was solved. (btw, the help that I received here was great). However, as a sort of spur of the moment kind of thing, I decided to search and see if I still had the problem, and I did.

The file which I have been using to tell if I have this malware is jesterss.dll. There is a program called Everything, which is a lightning fast search freeware program, which can be found here. I've been using this to detect all traces of this malware, and by using this program, I can quickly and efficiently tell where all parts of it are hiding. I'm here because I deleted all traces of this terrible malware with FileASSASSIN, except for one pesky folder which won't delete.
When I use FileASSASSIN, I can delete the one file in the folder (folder called "spool" located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool); file called srgb color space profile.icm, located in the spool folder. I unlock the modules in this file with FileASSASSIN, then delete it, and then try to delete the folder. Whenever I try to delete the folder, it tells me "Access denied, file is in use by another person or program" and a new srgb color space profile.icm is created. I was wondering how I could delete this pesky file, and finally be done with this malware once and for all.
There is also a folder called "dllcache" located in C:\WINDOWS\system32 which isn't even visible to me, even when I show hidden files. It's only visible on "Everything."

I kept notice of the malware and its locations, and wrote them down. Here's all the malware I could find, and deleted:

filterpipelineprintproc.dll (Which is found in...)

C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\prtprocs\x64


printfilterpipelinesvc.exe (Which is found in...)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86

srgb color space profile.icm (Which is found in...)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color

srgb.icm (Which is found in...)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

sRGB.pf (Which is found in...)
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\lib\cmm

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT: During this time I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows XP. Thanks!

EDIT2: It seems that whenever I try to run ComboFix, it aggravates the trojan even more. Combofix doesn't run, and more processes begin to run (.cfxxe's) , as well as new folders being created in my C: Drive. I am 100%positive that these are not Combofix related folders.

Additionally, there is a folder called System Volume Information which is installed in every drive. I have read that this is normal, but I believe that the trojan (I'm fairly sure it's a trojan) is hiding there. I have deleted system restore on every drive, and taken ownership of the folders,all to no avail. There's a file in System Volume Information called change.log which won't delete.
I also forgot to mention that this infection is on both my laptop and my desktop.
I can delete jesterss.dll as well as these pesky files I have listed easily, but whenever I have tried to reformat, I always find jesterss.dll in the WINDOWS/system32 folder, as well as these other files in the locations listed. I've tried to look up jesterss.dll on google, but found nothing. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
