Hey, I have run into some problems with some sort of Win32 virus. After running Ad Aware I found and deleted all of the files found. Some of them stayed deleted while others would return after reboot. They are all hidden files located in the system 32 folder and here is a list of the ones I cannot delete:
bszip.dll
cmd.exe
netstat.exe
regedit.exe
taskkill.exe
tasklist.exe
tracet.exe
Although some of these files look legit, they are indeed clones of the original which are part of Win 32.
I can easily find and delete these files, but the problem is they come back after reboot. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance. :)
Adam

Download Ewido Security Suite then set it up this way Ewido Setup Instructions reboot into Safe Mode and run Ewido

When the scan has completed, Ewido will create a report.txt file. Click the "Save Report" button on the bottom of the screen and save the log to your desktop in case you need it later.

Please reboot into normal mode and post the ewido log.

Run this free online scan from Panda

Post the ewido and panda logs.
