XP boots once only then reboots

ASUS laptop P3, 386MB RAM; XP2 - after scrubbing the drive of spyware
and a virus - there was still one remaining - worm/spybot which
included these 3 files: explore.exe, svshost.exe and windowsupdate.exe
all of which are bogus files. I deleted these manually but did not find
any registry entries (run once) that typically is associated with these
files. Everything looked great until I rebooted because then XP starts,
right after the logo screen things go black and the machine reboots
forcing you to go to safe mode. You can go to safe mode once then
reboot and come up into standard mode ok. Next time you restart the
reboot thing happens and you are stuck in this loop. One other
observation: when booting into safe mode the system will hang for a
while on AGP400 driver but then eventually starts ok. I am thinking
about doing a repair - any ideas or help with this would be greatly
appreciated - thanks, Bill
