OK, those files and folders are unimportant at the moment. You've got a trojan loading
somewhere....
If you uninstalled Wild Tangent, that may be why that 04 entry didn't show again.
Leave that folder for now. "WT" is installed with AIM and other AOL apps.
You weren't s'posed to "delete" RPCSS, just stop the running process. That may not
work, until other things are taken care of. Just forget that. It's a Windows application
that's only needed, if your PC is on a network. It's Remote Procedure Call Service.
For one, backdoor trojans will launch that.
What kind of backup folders are you referring to? 30? It would help to have some
details on those. There's also an option in HijackThis to produce a StartupList log.
Run HijackThis again and post a new log. In addition, press Config... > Misc Tools
> Generate StartupList log. That'll show all the locations, it's loading from. Post
both logs here in a post, seperating them.
After posting those, run an online virus scan ASAP, if you can and get back to me.
