    clearly something is still there, because I keep getting my vscan popping up with c:\system32\semarove.dll.tmp listed as TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen trojan no matter how many times i tell it to delete or quarentine it.

    Try using Spybots SECURE SHREDDER (under tools) to kill the file

    I used shredder to combat the previous rogue files you mentioned, however it would not locate the files that my vscan kept popping up (random name), so I ran spybot fully and it located the vundo once more, after a reboot it completed the task, upto this point now, only time will tell if I get a repeat popup from my Vscan regarding the trojan.

    But after 3 non stop and exhausting days n nights, I pray that its finally solved, I thank you for your patience and help, and apoligise if at times ive got a little "tempramental" over the situation (lack of sleep).

    Is there any last minute checks you wish me to perform to be certain, I was going to include the Spybot log, but thought it seemed to cumbersome and irrelevant.
