Hi

Please run the following progams
to see if there is any spyware on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.or­g/
CWShredder - http://forum.aumha.org/downloa­ds/cwshredder.zip
Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Also see the following links:

Also have a look in msconfig>startup to see if the file is referenced there.
If so, uncheck it, then reboot your system.

i uninstalled windows service pack 1 and it no longer comes up

is that okay..

i ran ad aware already and deleted the stuff it told me to there..

should it all be okay now?

Hi

It wouldn't have been installed by SP1. Now you'll have to go to Windows
Updates to get back all the Critical/Security Updates so that your system is
up to date. You'll probably be offered SP2.
