I am using McAfee 2008 and it has been catching this virus or trojan
every time it scans the computer recently. It always says it repaired
the virus by removing it. However, it appears to keep coming back,
making me think that it's parked somewhere else on the laptop and is
regenerating itself somehow.

The trojan seems to park itself in the C:/System Volume
Information/-restore/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

folder.

The reason I am concerned is that today I got a call from my credit
card security center saying my card had been compromised shortly after
I placed an order online at a place called Texas Towers in PLano, TX.

Now, I don't know if it is the Trojan at fault or some slimeball thief
employee of the company. I keep no credit card information on the
computer, but did type in the credit card number and other information
when placing the order at Texas Towers. Could that Generic.PWS.y
have sent the card information somewhere or would anyone know just how
these trojans mentioned above work?

Where do I submit Windows XP bugs?

By removing c:\WINDOWS\Config\csrss.exe from registry, the problem resolved.
Thank you.

I edited the registry as Galen described. It has no effect; the system tray
alerts continue to pop up, particularly the annoying one that tells me it's
conecting to the wireless network. I can usually tell whether it's
connecting by whether or not there's an "X" through the tray symbol.

On a number of websites, I note that WinXP has apparently memorized items
like my name, email address, phone number, and logins. But it's also
memorized some earlier misspellings.

Is there, and if so where is a file which contains these items?

Is it editable?

Does Microsoft still offer the News groups that you can read on Outlook
express. If so would some give me the NNTP server address?

Why do I get an error message when i try to transfer a windows backup file
from my computer to an external hard drive? Its says there is no free disk
space. I have defraged the drive. It says it has 426GB free and the files is
27GB this error only pops-up when i try to copy the file onto it.

A friend of mine offered me a Windows XP disk with a full licence.
Will I be able to update my Windows 2000 or must I make a clean install
(giving me a lot of problems as I have a huge quantity of programs to be
reinstalled)?
Thanks
