Windows XP Hybernate Mode OFF

Hello,

I have a windows xp workstation that got a virus and it continues to go into hybernate mode.  I have gone into the power properties of the system and turned off hybernate (set it to never).

Are there other places this could be triggered?

If there are multiple user profiles (not on a domain) can one be set to hybernate and take over?

I am checking if the virus still has something going on but until then I want to keep it from going into hybernate mode.

I did find two items that look suspicious in the msconfig.  I disabled them.
Nothing in the event viewer or scheduled tasks.

Running another antivirus scan, am finding some threats but they could be spyware "cookies".

will advise
you can try also Kasmersky Rescue Disk 10 booted from USB key for AV scan so not running on OS which is potentialy infected
I am positive this is a virus issue.  I am going to close this ticket and award point to the answers the address the specific question.
Addressed my question but my problem is related to a virus.
Great. You got the fix. :-)
