I am pinging this open because I have been days trying to eliminate belt.exe and its associated files and decided tonight to manually delete them per Symantec's instructions; when I opened the hidden files I saw that belt.exe had been last modified 8/13/2003; the only thing is, I bought this cpu new 02/12/2004.

In other words, either CompUSA sold me a refurbished computer without wiping the drive or COMPAQ pre-installed a trojan adware pgm.

Anybody have any ideas about this before I yell at CompUSA?

The only reason I'm pinging you is that I've participated in any number of spyware threads and updated my FR homepage to include and bloviate about my spyware prowess :)

I do this spyware thing daily, and have updated my homepage here on FR to reflect it.
