My virus scan keeps telling me that I have a "Trojan horse BackDoor.Generic12.AAVT" located in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\wanarp.sys"

Every time I try to remove it, it seems to automatically reinstall itself in that same directory.

I have tried using AVG, TFC, Spybot S&D, MBAM, ATF, and SAS. I even tried going to the directory and deleting that file manually.

None of it has worked.

Any suggestions?

FYI, I am running XP SP3

Nevermind.

I did a reinstall of XP and it fixed the problem.
