Hello All,

I have a nasty little infection going on here. Here's the log:

=============================

The items in bold keep returning under different .dll names.

Steps taken so far:

1. Boot to safe mode
2. Ran Hijack this and deleted the items in bold above as well as all BHO's.
3. Deleted c:\windows\sopkz.dll which was the dll name at the time for the items in bold.
4. Ran Norton Anti-Virus and deleted all suspect files it found.
5. Ran Adaware and deleted all files it found.
6. Ran AboutBuster.exe and it found no suspect files.
7. Deleted Temporary Files, TIF, and Recycle Bin.

I reboot to normal mode and it's like I did nothing!

I don't know if my attempts at fixing this have damaged anything, but when I try to open My Computer or any part of Explorer.exe, I get an error message saying:
===================================================
SysFader: Explorer.exe - Application Error
Instruction at "0x1003d065" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be written.

Click OK to terminate the program.
Click CANCEL to debug the program.
===================================================
Clicking either does nothing. The only way I can get at my files is to go to Start --> Search, or open IE and go to a folder that way.

I would greatly appreciate any help on this...

Thanks All!
