I've followed the instructions from the sticky... It seemed to fix my problem for about half a day, and then I started having issues again. I used ewido, adaware, norton, cleanup, spybot, and housecall. All of the definitions are up to date, and I customized all the scans as the thread instructed. The only thing I had issues with was installing service pack 2... I made sure all of the spyware was removed from my system, but when I tried to install SP2 it froze halfway through the install... when I rebooted it made me uninstall SP2 since it didnt complete, and all of my attempts after the first to install it have failed as well.

Whats happening is, if I try to browse through my computer in any application, whether it be to open a file through winamp or browse to upload to the internet... If I try to change directories, the entire application freezes. My task manager also does not open when I press ctrl+alt+del, but an icon appears in the system tray. Each additional time i press ctrl+alt+del, another icon appears.

Ewido keeps popping up a message that "cisvc.exe" in the system32 folder is infected with some type of backdoor. I keep choosing clean, but for some reason it isnt cleaning it, or it keeps coming back. From what I've read, the cisvc.exe file is a windows file for memory management, so I don't really want to delete it.

I have two hard drives, and I re-formatted the one with my Windows installed on it, thinking it would solve my proplem. Initially, it went away, but less than a day later I started having the problems all over again.

I noticed one of the viruses my scans detected a couple of days ago "boxide.exe" is in the HJT log, even though none of the scans are picking it up anymore.

I'm just lost about what to do, aside from reformatting both of my hard drives (which really isnt an option for my D drive until I find a sufficient storage medium) and I'm really not sure that would solve my problem anyways.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
