Replace McAfee with an AV that works and re-install the latest version of
spybot, (Not a data file update- version 1.3), and install adaware. hopefully
one will find the dropper that is still on your system

| Looking for help with a recurring problem. For about a
| month I have been getting *.exe files added to my RunOnce
| folders in my HKEY_CURRENT_User and HKEY_LOCAL_USER
| registries. I am also getting a Margo folder added at the
| same time. I have been deleting them, but they keep
| showing up. The *.exe files always have a seemingly
| randomly generated name like GGK3NAG.exe.
|
| Part of the problem this creates is that, when I restart
| my computer, it is looking to find/execute these things.
| It just keeps spinning until I end the task. Even then it
| doesn't always boot.
|
| I have run McAfee, PestControl, and SpyBot and still have
| the problem.
|
| Can anyone shed some light on this problem and solution?
