Are you using VSHIELD on your computer?  VSHIELD forces a cold boot on Control-
Alt-Delete, unless you run it with the /NB parameter.  Viruses stand a lesser
chance of surviving a cold boot than a warm boot, although it might still be
possible; I don't know for sure.

One solution, if VSHIELD is not the culprit, might be to write a program that
writes the "warm boot value" 0x1234 to the appropriate location (check the FAQ
for the address to write it to, and double check that that is the correct 
value to write, as I am simply trying to remember the details).  That way, it
is there when Control-Alt-Delete is pressed (I don't know the exact rebooting
process, so I am not sure whether this would even work, it is just one
suggestion to try).
