Maybe it removed itself and will be another one soon?

Suddenly, magically, it's gone!! So I rebooted in Safe Mode and ran EVERYTHING test-wise and NOTHING showed up again!! (A few minor cookie style bugs caught by Ad Aware, but not the trojan.) I booted up again in normal mode and ran McAfee AGAIN. Again, it showed no trojan. Now, is the trojan gone completely (I didn't delete it, I wasn't ever allowed to!), or has it opened up and gone through my system, taking itself out of the trojan mode? The name of the trojan was Start Page-DU.DLL, or StartPage-DU.DLL. If I remember correctly, the W32.Bagel worm wasn't deleted by me either, it just vanished one day and "became" the Start Page trojan. Dale
