Well, this is a problem. Are you really formatting, or just doing a repair install?

Are you using an authentic Windows XP installation CD, the machine's recovery partition, or something you downloaded off the internet?

Are you reintroducing backed up data to the new installs? Have you scanned the backed up data before restoring it to ensure it's not infected?


Let's see if we can get some sort of log other than the gmer, which shows a nasty rootkit, by the way.

• Download RSIT by random/random and save it to your desktop.
• Double click RSIT.exe to start the tool and click Continue at the disclaimer.
• When the scan completes it will open a log named log.txt maximized, and a log named info.txt minimized.
• Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of log.txt here.
  
• Please attach info.txt to your post.

To attach a file to a new post, simply

1. Click the[Manage Attachments] button under Additional Options > Attach Files on the post composition page, and
2. copy and paste the following into the "Upload File from your Computer" box:

   C:\rsit\info.txt
   

3. Click Upload.
