Argh. I just recently found a trojan in my computer due to some aol instant messenger virus going around. I used ad aware, spysweep, trojan scan, and norton in order to try and clean this puppy out.. I thought that I had it all, but for some reason every time my computer boots, there's this program called "Evidence Scan" that shows up. I looked in my msconfig startup tab, but it doesn't appear as if the file escan.exe is there. I've deleted the file a billion times, but it just pops back up again when I reboot. Help! and thanks. - Jon

look in the win.ini and sys.ini files to see if its there.
also type in
regedit, open edit, type in escan.exe in the find line, see if its in the registry. if so, right click an delete
