im not going to post any LOG, i just need advices,

OK ppl this is very, very frustrating....

1. i got same prob on two diferent pcs, windows XP pro 2600 on both NO SP1 OR 2
2. using ad-aware se 1.5, f-secure updated both
3. found virus/troyans/SPYWARE and removed

now, computer still slow..., but i noticed that on computer "A" one of the user accounts got the problem that any change to the SYSTEM REGISTRY wont save no matter what..., i mean you try to remove the quicktime' tryicon (THATS AN ENTRY TO BE SAVE ON THE REGISTRY RIGHT?), but you restart and still there, you try t register a program using a downloaded "registry entry" like FILENAME.REG you double clickit it says that was imported succesfully, you enter the program and its registered, BUT you reset the pc and again UNREGISTERED, im telling you ppl its like if there is a program LOCKING UP THE REGISTRY any body knows anything about it???

then, i checked the "msconfig" and if i clickout any of the startup entries, you restart and now its duplicated, i mean one that i left without the checkmark, and a newone exactly the same, but with the mark, if you open the system registry with any program, and you go DELETE the entries of the startup entries, they keep coming back every time you restart.... What the... is going on???, this is computer A, only one usser account acts like that, if i create a new account the newone doesnt act like that, now computer B its the same both B got 3 different users and all of them act like that, and on computer B if you create a new user account it will do the same s#$*tt...

so let me know if anybody knows about something like this, anybody experienced something like that? sorry if this post its extense but i had to be specific....

PLEASE HELP!!!!
I ALREADY TRIED BITDEFENDER 8, ALURIAS SECURITY SUITE, F-SECURE, AD-AWARE SE 1.5,
