WindUpdates Browser Plug-in

[j5lo6]

The below continues to populate when running application.
I continue to remove it through Microsoft Antispyware.
Any answers on how to permanantly remove this? Other
than this, the product has been great! I noticed users
have been posting bugs... I'll be sure to include any I
see as well! Thanks..

Hi Lorie,
Let's try running the scan from Safe Mode (F8 at startup) Should that fail,
some of the BHO's are quite sophisticated. Have you tried opening
IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons and disabling suspicious BHO's?

Try restarting in safe mode by pressing f8 before the initial Windows screen
appears. Do full scans until one comes through clean--probably twice.

Let us know whether that does the trick.
