Ok, I have this problem - There's this file, and a few others that keep respawning after I delete them when I reboot. I have ran many virus/trojan/adware scanners and none of them have caught it, Or they have and it just respawned. I want to make an application in VB that will find the similarities in the files and delete them all. Can anyone give me advice on this?

Give us more information.

1)  Operating system?  Service Pack level?
2)  Path/Filenames of files you are trying to delete?
3)  Registry keys (full path to) you are deleting?

Windows XP Professional. Service Pack 4.
one of the files is called "TB_Setup" and appears in the Temp Internet files directory, another is Toolbar.dll, and another is the actual zip file it came from. I have identified them as part of the "Adware.SearchBar" virus, and the key to be deleted is in the Startup section(Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run).

Get an adware cleaner and stop clicking "yes" to everything offered to you.

Search for Spybot. It is an excellent malware/adware/spyware remover, and its databases are updated frequently. Best of all it is free. You will be surprised to see the large number of malicious content that it will find and remove from your computer.

I've used Spybot, norton, AVG, The Cleaner, and Ad-aware. nothing worked. And I didnt "click yes" to anything.

Depends on what it says SP4 on.  Which window did you get that from?  Are you sure you're not running Windows 2000?
