This cannot be removed with only HijackThis and the Task Manager, as its process will recreate any registry entries you delete. Which process? Every process you are running, thanks to the AppInit_DLLs entry. > All easily beaten by using HiJackThis in the way I described. Well done. Now go install CWS/About, TVMedia/BHO, CommonName/Comwiz and HuntBar/WinTools, and see how you get on. HijackThis is a brilliant tool. But it is not a panacea, and the worst of the crop are starting to code around the things it can do. -- Andrew Clover mailto:and () doxdesk com http://www.doxdesk.com/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
