Did you run the scan in safe-mode?
Did you delete/reset these in the registry?
 
 
 
Navigate to the subkey and delete value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value: "Bron-Spizaetus" = ""%Windir%\ShellNew\sempalong.exe""
 
Navigate to the subkey and delete value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value: "Tok-Cirrhatus" = "%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\smss.exe""
 
Navigate to the subkey and reset value to default if required:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Value: "Shell" = "Explorer.exe"
 
Navigate to the subkey and reset value to default if required:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Value: "NoFolderOptions" = "0" or "NoFolderOptions" = "1"
 
Navigate to the subkey and reset values to default if required:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\advanced
Values:
"Hidden" = "0" or "Hidden" = "1"
"ShowSuperHidden" = "0" or "ShowSuperHidden" = "1"
"HideFileExt" = "0" or "HideFileExt" = "1"
 
7. Exit Registry and Restart the computer.

Zinnia, do what Tool has suggested and if you are still having problems.
Go to A Squared and download their trojan detection program. It is free of charge and run it. You can get it here at this address. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/.
If that doesn't help the problem then post back for more ideas.
Good Luck

Two quick thoughts that may help.
 
Have you tried this shutdown & restart troubleshooter?
 
http://aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.htm
 
If nothing there works are you able to download HijackThis from here ....
 
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
 
....to either the infected computer or to a CD/floppy another one?
 
If so then scan the infected PC with it and post the final Notepad log report to this thread. It may reveal what your problem is.

Sounds like you still have the trojan or you picked up another one. Did you go to A Squared and download and run their program yet?
Since the info at Symantec list's nearly every anti-virus maker that can cause the trojan to restart your computer, including norton. Go here http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml and run their online scan and see what it comes up with and then post the results back in this posting and then we can go from there.
 
Also do as mainman suggests and grab and run hijack this. It can't hurt to cover all bases.
