To start the computer in safe mode
Should let spybot do it for you... but it also can be a false positive alarm...
Use hijack this to make sure of it.

:)
run hijackthis -> scan -> save log -> save -> select all -> copy -> paste to this forum reply's box
if you have frontpage installed after copy the save log better you first paste it into frontpage -> click on the html's tab -> then copy all between < body > ... < /body > of html's tab (do not include the body and /body tags) -> just paste it to the forum reply's box... this way the message will be nice formated

Pat, you need to get rid of this trojan. It's a serious security risk. Treb trojan: 
a trojan that gives remote access to your system using listening proxy servers. 

You can also uninstall all instances of either of these listed in Add/Remove programs: 
 PowerReg Scheduler and BackWeb. Additionally, if there's anything suspicious, or 
something you didn't install yourself, remove it. Note the first two 04 entries? 
Those are trojans, nothing to do with MS. 

Log off and close ALL open windows. Run HJT. Select these items. Choose Fix checked. 
Reboot into SAFE MODE.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Updater Resources] Win32Fixer.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Automatic Microsoft Windows Updater] SUCHOST.EXE
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Works Calendar Reminders.lnk = ?

Make sure all hidden files are showing: 

How to Show System Files 

Run a search for these files and delete them:
Win32Fixer.exe
SUCHOST.EXE

Problematic Windows app: mdm.exe 

Clear out ALL temp folders, while still in safe mode. Internet Options - delete TIF 
and choose 'delete all Offline content'. Empty C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp 
folder, if you have one. XP-> C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp 
(for all users). Empty Recycle bin. 

Reboot into Normal mode. Then please run HJT again and post the New log, and someone 
will check it out. 

P.S. In the meantime, if you don't have Spyware Blaster installed, I suggest you 
do that, download updates then enable protection.
