That some malware is still there or the damage was pretty deep.
Grif has written about this and we often find that we also get to remove Norton then run all the tools Grif notes until it's clean.

System is a Dell Latitude D630 running XP pro with service pack 3.
After catching a virus I cleaned the system with Malaware and Symantec .
All seemed OK until I tried printing and found the print spooler was not running. After getting advice on this forum, this was resolved by loading and running SUPERantispyware. See another thread.
However after running SUPERantispyware I had lost the file associations and couldn't run ANY .exe programs. I dowloaded a fix from Dougknox.com which restores the registry to its initial settings and all seemed fine again.
Except... when I restart the computer I find I've lost the associations again. I then run the fix and all is fine.
How do I get XP to remember the associations ?
