I have run spybot s&d, Ad-Aware and SpywareGuard.
I have Norton Utilities 2005 and the Microsoft Security
Centre shows firewall, updates and virus protection as on.
The guest account has been disabled all the time, even
when I noticed activity the guest account was still
disabled.
Am I looking for a trojan and how can I find it short of
reformatting?
