steals part of my bandwidth, it's one of a series of infected files that i keep getting like algs.exe and logon.exe which keep popping up which somehow avoid any detection/deletion by the programs i've tried (McAffee, CA Antivirus and Antivir Guard). I got it off a p2p site

Have this on my computer, turned firewall off for 10 mins and got it. It closes task manager as soon as you open it so you can't end the process, if you have this problem get Security Task Manager
   

WinIogon (as opposed to Winlogon - I not L) is a dropper from an exploit of the LSASS vulnerability in Windows. Patch it and all is fine

Blocks access to registry, task manager, and command prompt. Disables Integrated Firewall in Windows XP SP2. Extremely difficult if not impossible to remove without a complete reinstallation of windows.
