Folks,

I've got a nasty trojan horse on my XP machine. I was running Adaware, Spybot etc. My wife decided to reboot the machine one day while I was at work. Came home and can't even boot into Windows anymore. No Safe Mode. Nada. I was able to get into Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt 2 times and got some important files off the machine. I also used my XP disks to get to the Recovery Console. I saw another site where I was told to delete calsp.dll. This worked for about 5 minutes - I could use Safe Mode w/Command Prompt again temporarily.

Now, I can't do anything. I can't boot regular, safe mode...anything. I just want to get some files of the machine and wipe it. Anyone have any ideas?
