Help Trojan.KillReg

Hello.

Microsoft Antispyware found Trojan.KillReg on my system. Yesterday I
discovered Trojan.KillReg when Microsoft Antispyware did a scheduled scan of
my system and I deleted the trojan.

However today Microsoft Antispyware found it again so this time I've
quarantined it. If it comes back how can I remove it from my system?

I try to be careful about my security. I surf the net using a limited
account in XP and I even use my HOSTS file to block sites.

I have XP home edition with SP2.
AVG antivirus (up to date)
ZoneAlarm.
Microsoft Antispyware.
Spybot S&D.
SpywareBlaster.
MailWasher.

typically its downloaded from the internet or sent to you disguised as
something else. What could be doing that? Who else uses the computer besides
you? What sites do you go to on a regular basis? Do you open every bit of
nonsense spam email you get?

I use MailWasher to intercept my email and have OE set to maximum security.

I did visit an MP3 download site for the first time and noticed that the
download had an unusual file name .mp3.something or other. But I stopped
the download before it was completed.

I went away for a week and my neighbour had access to my PC but the only
account in XP that does not require a password is a limited account.

Not to frighten you, most trojans and malicious software don't use user
account to penetrate, instead they use the system account to exploit. Some
services on your machine which use system account to start might become the
victim of this issue.
