I am running windows xp pro sp2 with all the updates. I am running
antivir.com antivirus. Every few seconds a window pops up C:\windows
\system32\hgaawv.dll is the trojan horse TR/Spy.CptHooki.2 I get no info
on this virus, any ideas on how I would clean my system?

so great) words of knowledge:

Spyware Doctor. It is slow loading, but it picks up stuff that XoftSpy,
Norton's and others miss.

First, it is NOT a virus it is a Trojan.

Chances are it is a Conhook type Trojan.
Look in the below area of the Registry...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify

Look for a a key theat loads; hgaawv.dll and see if you can delete that key.

If not (it is a protected key) then boot into the Recovery Console.
Logon as administrator
Delete; C:\windows\system32\hgaawv.dll
Reboot into Normal Mode then delete the key under the Winlogon\Notify
