Need help with a major problem

by keyboard_kowboy . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

Right long long time ago there used to be a clean system Mine but nowadays it has developed a major problem

About 3 to 4 months ago my system was running fine then one thursday night i noticed that a load of xp search windows had opened and my sound had muted so i ran a virus scan with avg and found nothing.

A week later the same thing happened so i went and brought a copy of nortons 360 and still nothing, so i wrote to a few forums and they suggested combofix amd malwarebytes. This time it found and removed a couple of malware progs.

So i thought to be on the safeside i would buy an hardware firewall so i went out and brought a belkin.

And everything was sweet until a couple of days ago when the same faults came back. So this time i run nortons (clean) combofix (clean) malwarebytes (clean) spybot (clean) lavasoft adaware (clean) gmer (clean) and few more progs beside have all come back clean yet the problems still persisted.

So last night i put all my important stuff into a file and transfered it to c drive and deleted the partition on d drive before transfering it back again and wiping the partition and formatting c drive. and guess what the symptoms still persist.

So either i have a virus that no one has found a rememdy for

or

i am being hacked on a daily basis (considering i am running xp firewall, nortons firewall and belkin firewall i doubt it)

So can someone PLEASE help me?

Symptoms are in order
1: muted sound
2: multiple search windows opened from xp
3: keyboard pourts gibberish when typing (sometimes not always)

All help would be appriciated because this is tearing my hair out.
