SRNG hijack

[Will]

Hello,
Does anyone know where SRNG is hiding these days. It's not in
C:\Program Files\SRNG
I can't find the Helper DLL anywhere.
Ad Aware 6.0 was not able to remove it.
I am about to perform the ultimate sacrifice, meaning reinstalling the
&@$$ machine - just to remove this sticky and stupid advertising page.

It's no longer srng.exe. It's mutated and changed its name.
