Well I acted like a newb and downlaoded something I shouldnt have before running Ad-aware and norton on it and now I have about 6 keyloggers in my system 32 folder and everytime I delete or quarintine them the next day all are duplicated and back in the same spot =.= Anyone know how to remove the files permanantly?

i think uninstall your hole system and start completely over, it takes about a day to do so tho but it works to get rid of stuff like that, unless i misread the question, im kinda tired

I wouldn't recommend deleting your hard-drive yet... just go online and google the filenames of the files you think are suspicious. 99% of the time there will be a site with instructions on how to remove them.
I always turn to "Hijack This" (google.com) as my first option to disable trojans etc.

It happened to me once.. i had everything you could think of. They were everywhere. Try finding programs on the net to use, try deleting manualy in safe mode and if it doesnt work then u'll hafta clear harddrive and back stuff up.

also bear in mind that safe mode can disable loading of system drivers (should they be installed as such, plus start up files, etc).. Try through that first.. also, what operating system do you have? you might have file protection on and those files are set as system files, so they get re-instated to their locations...

always be safe on the net, never download from someone u dont know
and if u do, immediatly scan with an antiviruss scanner

I would try scanning with multiple programs; Ad-aware, spybot, Bazooka, spysweeper. Since it's reappearing everytime the files are probably sitting in some temp folder. I would suggest clearing out your temp internet files as well as temp files. Make sure you have enable "show all files" in case it's a hidden file. Then I would proceed to booting into safe mode if you need to delete any system files. You could also look in msconfig (start -> run -> msconfig ) and look whats all loading at startup.

Im sure if u just tried googling the filenames you would be able to fix the problems in a min, theres always someone out there whose experienced the same problem and received help which is now archived for everyone after him to use.

I agree, also, Bazooka has detailed instructions at their website database (google "Bazooka Spyware")
