OK, I have done total and complete scans with both AVG Pro and Norton 2004 Pro, and they both have found nothing, there is a WUXAT.EXE that keps showing up in Startup and when I go into Task Manager, when I end procces in Task Manager the msconfig screen opens and stays open just fine, then I reboot and I am back to square one, and ideas of what this is, and how to get rid of it for good?

Took a while, the net is slow and had to translate a couple of pages.
Only thing I found points to it being Worm.P2P.SpyBot.gen


Found Here

Worm.P2P.SpyBot.gen and what Symantec Security Response has to say about it.





Hello,
the file C:\WINDOWS\System32 \ WUXAT.EXE , which is started here:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ Configuration default ] WUXAT.EXE
the only case of Trojan inheritance seems to be. One must itself however in the clear one over it
its that each infestation is not to be recognized by a HJT log file. The others
Entries are OK ONE, but theoretically these files could overwritten

acts, i.e. if it is active, it opens a "back door" on your system,
announces themselves at IRC servers and expects instructions. It is also able
To store and dispatch if necessary keyboard layouts. Whether he did that, I know
not, you know not, white nobody. For me it became personal as cause for a formatting and a new installation is enough, because it me simply too riskily
it would be that he was nevertheless active or is.
On the other side the process typical for this Trojaner is missing with you
SVC host s (with s). Whether that is a rather good or bad indication, can
I do not say.
The decision is with you.
If you should decide nevertheless for a repair attempt, you find
