Adaware is after malware not viruses - for that you need a
antivirus (AVG is free). Try running it in safe mode and see
how many of the junk things it can delete that way. Also, see
the following information ...

Hii, Install a good antivirus select ones below that shd remove all the
viruses and second check ur firewall if u are not on sp2 suggest upgrade it
equips with an good inbuilt firewall.

http://safety.live.com (online scanner)
www.windowsonecare.com (ms antivirus, firewall, backup included.)
www.freeav.com (avera antivir)
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx (windows
defender)

Since u are saying the infections are not being removed the best method to
clean out all the infection is to actually boot from a different os or set
ur hd as slave to clean it from a clean os with a good antivirus. this is
time consuming! and strain!

So to boot in dos if u hav a boot disk its great else if ur os is in ntfs
just use the windows cd to get to command prompt. now free av also has a dos
based scanner that uses the definations of regular install to clean. so its
just as effective and far better as since xp is not booted there is no scope
for virus to load to ur memory at startup.

Hope this helps..,
