Re: OT: Anyone heard of this file?
Adaware doesn't recognize it either....

Re: OT: Anyone heard of this file?
It seems bit unlikely to be part of Windows if it's behaving in such a blatantly intrusive way. Boot in 'safe' mode and it will not be activated. Then you can safely delete it. You might want to make sure you have the very latest data file for Adaware, and maybe also dowwnload Spybot S&D because there are so many spyware and spamware programs out there that it sometimes requires both to remove them all.

Baron: That didn't work either.
This p.o.s. installed at 5 pm yesterday, somehow, someway.

1st, see if it is running as a service, if it is, then stop the service and then remove the file.
2nd, build a boot disk and use it to boot the system, then drill down to the file and wipe it out.

Re: OT: Anyone heard of this file?
You can also run 'MSCONFIG' and see if it's listed under the Startup Tab. If it is, then you can remove the checkmark next to it, save & exit, and then reboot. If it's necessary to anything, you'll get an error about it. If everything appears to run smoothly though, then you can go back in and permenantly remove it (or just leave the checkmark deselected).

Re: OT: Anyone heard of this file?
It isn't in the startup tab.
called it up in wordpad and it appears to be some form of internet blocker/filter. I didn't install it or set it up, so it makes me very angry...

Re: OT: Anyone heard of this file?
Pathfinder, I'm in the mood to post your problem on the USENET and see if anyone has a clue. Don't know if you've decided to do that yourself. If you hate the USENET, don't worry, I won't let the message get traced back to you. I'm just steamed that the progam exists, and there's no info on it anywhere. Anyway, can you give me some more system info -- computer model (Dell, Toshiba, or just say homebrew), and what Version of Windows (98, XP) you're using?
