Stubborn virus?

I am using XP and was using Avast, Spyware Doc and Ad-Aware. Avast showed me the list of files that could not be scanned and in it was the Win32 PcClient MI trojan about a week ago.

Things seem to have worsened progressively - the Administrator login I was using is now unable to download any new antivirus tools or firewalls (after we uninstalled avast), the internet is extremely slow and requires sometimes 10 refreshes per page. It won't even let us access download manager or the device manager. The sound card is not detectable now, either.

Fortunately, one of the other logins is working to download and use the internet so we downloaded a new firewall (comodo) and used avast virus cleaner - which showed no infections - but was unable to scan WINDOWS\system32 (and one other file in Nero Home).

anyone have any tool specifically for scanning the sys 32 folder? (there are 200,000 other files which makes scanning take forever).

Up front..... the C:\WINDOWS\system32 is the Dynamic Link Library (.dll file extensions) which Windows and other software criss cross through that has also counterparts in the Windows Registry. It is kind of like a favorites bookmarks for the system and software but is intermingled for things to do this and that with what and where much in the blink of an eye as computing. Windows\system32 is part of the Windows Operating System.
