    alot of hard disks where shipped out from china a while back with rootkits planted on them.

    just a thought from the paranoid. :3

    hmm, are you installing from a pirated copy of XP by any chance?

    i would check if it was there straight after a clean install or if it pops up during installation of drivers and anything else you install.
