Boot into safe mode and search for the file in the registry, remove all entries, ensure that you kill all suspect processes before doing so, run AV and reboot. Might work.

I thought capps.exe was part of Nortons?

No idea, never used norton in my life but a quick google reveals this

and you are using windows xp, switch off the system restore function. some of the nasties copy themselves there, to be restored on the next reboot.

Yeah, System Restore is the devil! I wonder if anyone has actually used it succesfully???
