Rogue program

[Eric]

I have a rogue program that has attached itself to my
system in C:\Windows. It won't delete by the usual method
how can I get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried looking for it in task manager? It may not
be deleted because it's being used or something... If so,
just end the process in task manager, then try deleting
it. May not work but that's usually the case for me with
odd programs like that

Since you haven't told us the name of the "rogue program" or what you
mean by "the usual method", it is hard to give you a specific answer.
Therefore, do the normal Windows troubleshooting:

Scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not earlier
than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also, remove
spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de and
Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal
tools in Safe Mode.

You might also want to scan with a trojan hunter like The Cleaner. If
you are still having problems after you've done the above, then please
repost with more information.
