[QUOTE="Elev8/Levit8, post: 549780, member: 5744"] Nasty lil buggers these... get rid, don't leave it on there... Sometimes you can zap the beggars by booting into safemode & running full system scans with an anti-spyware prog... Ad-Aware's not bad, but I prefer one called Ewido security suite (i think there's a free 30-dayer on the website). This isn't guaranteed to get rid of them though. There is a formula you can follow to remove these but you've really gotta know what yer looking for. The method I would use for getting rid is quite painful... register at an anti-spyware forum (there are plenty on the tinty) and talk to some of the geeks on there. They'll probably direct you to download 2 or 3 dos utilities which do specific cleanups & produce logs, run em, post yer logs on the board & they'll walk you through getting em cleaned up completely. Be warned it can take multiple runs & a few days... if you've only got one, hopefully it won't be that bad... They use random number generators for filenames so you can't quarantine em, & there'll be a set of registry keys which get changed each time you log on giving the locations of the nasty files which are only valid for one windows session (ie they change each time you reboot). As well as the exe, there's normally at least one DLL which controls them & is hooked by Windows services manager, so there's an open handle on the file as soon as windows starts so you can't delete it even if you find it (hence safemode). Because it's a moving target, and buried quite deep in the registry & OS my advice would be seek help. There are messageboards out there full of peeps who specifically deal with handling these & helping peeps remove them. If I can find a URL to the board I've used in the past, I'll post it. Good luck fella. Welcome to a total pain in the arse. Hopefully you'll be lucky & it won't be this bad, but I've had experience with these things & they ain't fun. [/QUOTE]
