I said to turn off the System Restore because that is where this POS is residing - no matter where you find and delete it, if restore is operating, it will simply restore itself.

It is nasty.

You are probably right. Norton advises that you have to turn of System Restore when you remove many recent email viruses, because otherwise the bad files will be restored.

This is dangerous, because when you turn it off, it gets rid of the restore points, which means you have no way to restore the system at that point if something further goes wrong. But it seems as if you have little or no choice.

btw, you said the program resided in system restore? when i reran adaware, it only found bots in cookies, nothing in restore.

should i go turn on restore now?

thanks again,
