There are some exe, batch, and txt files in the root that keep coming back after I delete them. Some of them seem to disable firewall and ftp to another site to get files. One batch file seems to call calc.exe. Files there seem to change names like nk20.exe; eejevkk.exe

I have booted in safe mode; deleted the files; ran trend micro full scan (found one virus);
Then I restored to a previous date twice but they keep coming back.

Things changed recently - itunes loaded; touchcopy loaded; vuze loaded for bit torrent files.

thanks
