A Unknown Keylogger is apparently on my Computer, I have several protection systems that can detect it: Spybot Search & Destroy, AdAware, AVG, Windows Defender, SuperAntiSpyware. Nothing can remove, heal, or move it to the Virus Vault. It shuts off the computer when anything tries. I cannot reformat at this time because my computer will not recognize the DVD Rom. Running my protection systems in Safe Mode does not help. So far I have been unable to catch the name of the keylogger because the computer shuts off too fast once it is detected. I only know it is a key logger because Spyboy is searching for keyloggers when the computer shuts down. I am running Windows XP SP3. I beleive it got on my computer off of an AVI file from eMule.

Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.
Make sure you read and follow the directions, anything else will slow the process and waste both of our time. I suggest you keep this computer offline except when troubleshooting, the junk may download more. If you have any tool I use, delete it and download it new from the link I provide. Read and follow the directions carefully, the tools will not work unless you do.
The junk can be tough to remove, so do not expect fast or easy.

Provide also the information all of these programs are finding, the name of the keylogger, the location as is described by the programs you are running.
