I've got what I think is a rooted XP machine on my bench that I can't get clear.

It had iMesh and Search Guard on it. I have run Malwarebytes, superantispyware, HJT, and Spybot on it. System is mostly cleaned up but seems a tad sluggish and has one quirky behavior. Whenever I hit the Windows key and E, windows explorer takes 90-120 seconds to pop up most of the time. If I use the desktop icon or My Computer, the start menu item or even from the run command line it will pop up instantly.

I have logs from RIST, dds.scr and rootrepeal to attach. I can get others.

There are several items listed as hooked that I can not remove in rootrepeal or rootkit unhooker.

Thanks.
