Rick.... I had the same thing, by the sound of it. Sir Troth had the answer posted in the archives. It was to de-activate System restore and then re-activate it again. What this does is remove all of your 'restore' dates, and it sounds to me as if your worm is in the SysRes files. ( I kept getting the AVG warning which said to run AVG, in turn, this said I was clean! ) Hope this helps.
