Something else must be causing that since NYB isn't active when you
boot clean.

Don't use fdisk /mbr

I suggest using McAfee's Bootdisk. Download EMSCAN.ZIP from here:

http://vil.nai.com/vil/virus-4e.asp

Read the instructions in the enclosed zip.

Take KAV's Trojan detections seriously. You don't say which Kaspersky
EM program you downloaded. See my web site for the KASFX.EXE
download which has a clean/delete cabability using the Kaspersky
scan engine.
