This thing also opens pop-ups pointing to this page: http://69.20.62.53/yyy3.html If the registry entries related to these processes are deleted then they keep being recreated. What is it? And how does one remove it?It sounds like CWS. http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,63391,00.html After about 4 hours of trying on a client's PC, I was unable to remove it and resorted to a reformat/reinstall. It's incredibly persistent and probably not worth your time to remove it. hth, petard -- If your message really might be confidential, download my PGP key here: http://petard.freeshell.org/petard.asc and encrypt it.
