This is what Trojan Remover had found:
Key=wanatw
ImagePath=system32\DRIVERS\wanatw4.sys - this reference has been left in
place [file not found to scan]

I cannot find any info on this on the net. My Dell Inspiron 9400, XP Pro
Sp2. Running AVG, Trojan Remover and ZoneAlarm.
I found this just recently and it crashed the computer, Dell sent me new ram
and a new reformatted hard drive with OS pre-installed. I could not use any
restore points at all. Then I did a fresh install from from the hard drive
and it work for one day. Went to install again and it was corrupt. I then
used the os dvd to reinstall and got blue screens all day long, that's when I
call Dell and they sent the parts.
Now that I have setup my computer again, there is that file Trojan remover
does not like and installs a dummy driver for it.
Any ideas anyone?? Having a rough time with this one.
