RE: Idiot_self+trojans+administrative privs = Disaster

Hey Zach-I don't know how old your machine is or whether someone who uses
linux would also use AOL ;-) but you have something called aim95 running
which could also be a Trojan called sdbot.
Personally, If I got something that refused to budge after three attempts
then I would reformat, rewind and take it to the top.
Is the machine still bugging out?

Subject: Idiot_self+trojans+administrative privs = Disaster

I noticed that my OS (WinXP Media Center Ed. SP2) was acting extrodinarily
buggy and throwing several different errors. I had used bittorent and
Limewire while running as Administrator (I know,I know, I don't need a
lecture of how stupid this was... I was a moron). I wasn't being my usual
careful self because I'm going to wipe my comp and install linux. And a new
version of WinXP.
Anyway, I have a Trojan that I can't seem to get rid of:
Trojan.Popuper.Downloader. 
This is the result of a Scan by Spyware Doctor
Scan Results: (edited to just show location)
C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\uninstall.exe 
C:\Program Files\CCleaner\uninst.exe

I attempted to access the C:\System Volume Information... file but it would
not allow me to access this; I attepted this because it seemed to continue
to instantiate itself after removal and reboot. I was considering running as
System permissions to manually uninstall the restore loction, but didn't
want to give the Trojan any more power (Administrator is bad enough). On the
third time of removing and rebooting the infection is no longer being picked
up by Spyware Doctor... My question that I pose to the online community is
this: Do you think the infection is actually gone? It seemed to continue to
instantiate itself each time, and then suddenly dissapeared. Here is my
HijackThis! scan:
