I have been having a hard time getting rid of some troj. and malware.

I have done spybot S&D several times and ran Trendmicro 4-times.

I updated the software for S&D again today (did it a few days ago) and now it has found these items. Some are new and some are come backs.

network essentials smart pops
Altnet
CoolWWWsearch.control
CoolWWWsearch
Medialoads
Seksdialer
wildtangent

Tren Microa has found:
Troj. Small.DD
Troj.krepper.AO
Troj.krepper.AP
and a few others This time it was just those three.

I have continuously turned off sysdho.exe in my start-up menu and deleted the core EXE files but it keeps coming back.

I just pulled ths log after all things were said to be fixed. If someone could take a look and varify it that would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here it is

right away I see "sysmain.dl" and that is where trend said the krepper.AP trojan was and it was supposed to have deleted the file after I manually told it to. Before that it said it couldn't be removed. So does this mean it is still there?
