No trojan that your protection software found ... Was your anti-virus
software up to date?
When you re-installed Vista did you format the harddrive containing Vista?
It sounds like you have two disks or a single disk with multiple partitions
and simply installed to the other HDD or partiition. That won't get rid of
evil software lurking in the boot area of an HDD. It sounds like you need to
repair Vista from the install DVD by first deleting the existing volume,
re-creating it, and then installing Vista again. As has been said, that is
not for the feint of heart.
