Re: [Trojan] Win32.EggDrop-AE And Win32:PoeBot
You have XP without any Service Packs, and without any security updates. This is in the main why you become infected. It also explains why your posts in several security Forums about this computer have been ignored.
Most of your infection is using security loopholes long closed by keeping XP up to date.
In addition, at least one of your infections is a file injector, as seen in your AVAST screenshot.
Format all drives and reinstall XP clean. No other cleanup step should be considered. It is time to flatten and reinstall the Operating System.
When done, Enable the firewall; install an Antivirus program, update the antivirus program.
Then head to Windows Update and install at least Service Pack 2 -- or given the timing of matters, the Release Candidate of Service Pack 3. Install every update offered that is listed as "Critical".
