i've heard it's the hidden service tdsserv.sys that's the culprit. you have to disable the service then use tdsservkiller.exe to remove it. i didn't find this out until after i did a format/reinstall so i don't know if it actually works.
Thanks. I considered that, but it wasn't the culprit. It looks as if my problem has been fixed. I just have to fire of a few log files from scans to www.windowsbbs.com to double check that everything is ok.
