Well, darn...

I've been trying to adjust to my new job, so I haven't been hanging around here much lately (not that I was ever that verbal to begin with...)

I wish I had seen this thread earlier, as I was reading it I instantly had flash backs to this computer I just wanted to kick until it went fizzle.

It was this Win2k box, and I tried the full assalt on it, AVG, Lavasoft, S&D, HijackThis, etc...
Which finally pointed me to where the files were, and since deleting them wouldn't get rid of them, I renamed them....

Why it worked, I don't know, but it did. After renaming them, I deleted any registry reference and then rebooted. For some awful reason it worked... I think I just changed the extension from .dll or .exe to .crap or something else. It managed to waste most of my morning though.

Nothing like spending 3 hours swearing at the boss's son's computer..., particularly when IT is only part of your job and there are documents piling up to read.

Now I'm on a crusade to convert the office to Firefox, and the Fileserver is constantly scanning itself and the logs keep saying its defs are updating (thank goodness for AVG and the dazuko kernel module. Now I just gotta get qmail set up to scan incoming mail, I'm the first linux guy on the staff.... (You should see the mess that the Red Hat install is in..., but it works, so I just keep fixing what things I see...)

Ciao,
Dhej
