I did but it not find the files in question.

Finally removed it by using msconfig -> general -> diagnostic startup.
Then fag.exe was finally in the process list so I could kill it and then 
delete the directory
f~q.

Is there a current virus/trojan checker that properly reports what this 
is/does?

Also on a fully patched xp system killing all the svchost.exe's causes the 
NT_AUTHORITY message  to come up and gives a minute to reboot. Which MS 
update was meant to fix this?
