So I ended up with antivirus live...what a pain in the rear. I booted in safe mode, ran superantispyware, glary, avg command line scan and ccleaner...didn't help at all. I'm running Windows XP SP3 and know just enough to be dangerous. I found a few suggestions online to delete registry lines...which I'm fairly comfortable with but wasn't able to find a single one to delete. Not sure where to go from here short of reloading system and starting over. I did see the antivirus pro post below, not sure if that's a variant or not. Pointing my compass in the right direction, or any direction for that matter, would be greatly appreciated.
