go to run type regedit , then open up your entire registry tree when you find it , before you delete it make a restore point then go back and remove it you can also run scan disc after removal then defrag . if you can't find it on the tree get in touch with your virus protection tech.then run ad aware - i find that spybot can take out dills that you need that's why 1 of my PC is now running on windows me instead of xp home.
