W?nlogon.exe problem.

I have had an issue with some program virus or spyware or something trying to access my internet connection. I have a router, mcaffee firewall and I use ad-aware and spybot heavily but none seem to get rid of this. Last night I decided to track down the W?nlogon.exe in the regedit and manually delete it. I did and as soon as I did my winpatrol halted it's attempt to reinstall. But on reboot it's back, the only thing I can think of is that it reinstalled on reboot before winpatrol. Can anyone help me here? I'm in desperate need of help and explanation of how to get rid of this thing. Thanks for the help in advance, you guys do great work.

    Could it be related to weatherbug my fiancee loves the thing and it was part of AIM. It did try to reaccess the internet and was blocked by mcaffee again after I checked out weatherbug. Just wanted to let ya know. It is constantly trying to access the internet and we'll block it and it tries again in a matter of seconds and then again and again. We've even tried to allow it and it still keeps coming back. I think it's trapped behind our router and that's why it keeps bouncing back that way.

    I keep leaving out information, bad memory I guess. Anyway, when McAfee firewall stops it it says. "The program W?NLOGON.EXE is requesting access to the Internet. Do you want to allow it?

    Path: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\W?NLOGON.EXE

    As I said, we've blocked access consistently for a few minutes before it finally gives up. Even when we've tried to Grant Access once it still kept popping up.

    Launch Notepad, and copy/paste the box below into a new text file. Save it as FindFile.bat and save it on your Desktop.
    dir C:\WINNT\system32\w?nlogon.exe /a h > files.txt
    notepad files.txt


    Locate FindFile.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it. It will open Notepad with some text in it. Please post the text here.

    OK, i think i have the same problem I don't really know, but i'm guessing that w?nlogon is a spyware right?

    so this is what i got, only i have XP so instead of WINNT/SYSTEM32 I PUTED WINDOWS/SYSTEM32

    what i got was

    Volume in drive C is OK!!
    Volume Serial Number is C086-830D

    Directory of C:\WINdows\system32

    08/23/2001 11:00 AM 430,080 winlogon.exe
    03/01/2005 07:15 AM 417,792 w?nlogon.exe
    2 File(s) 847,872 bytes

    Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\cstrike.TA-H36R8OF8VBN1\Desktop


    I also have one question, is rundll32.exe a spyware or something? and what about brnu.exe and mqtgsvs.exe
