I spend 4 hours today trying to eradicate these babies:

troj_sirefef.DD
troj_zaccess.eox

If I even encounter them again, I'd like to know how best to do so. Has anyone else been able to rid them permanently?

After more than 3 hours, I admitted defeat, and nuked the hard drive, reformatted it, and reinstalled the os.

looking on bleeping computers it does sound fixable, would combofix run

Used rkill, combofix and malwarebytes - upteen times. Even their own av prog quarantined what was found - and guess what on reboot I'd face the same problem, but in a different location - maybe there was something else going on - I'm not sure - but in a better safe than sorry mode - I nuke the hard drive and reinstalled the os.

better to be safe but its not always what people want, did you see the thread on bleeping computers TROJ_SIREFEF.DD; .QA; .RX; .EM Are plagueing me in need of bleeping expertise im assuming it download via the throjan

Yeah, I saw it after I nuked the hard drive...they'd been downloading media player - think that's where it started, and grew from there....
