One last thing you can try to tip the odds in your favor..Most spyware includes an uninstall program available in add/remove programs. You need to answer the prompts VERY closely--you get asked questions where you would expect "No" means "No", but instead you agree to load more spyware.But I've observed that if you answer the questions carefully, you can usually reduce the number of spyware programs running to the point where you can eliminate the rest in safe mode.It isn't easy work--sometimes a reformat is easier unless you have risk of losing lots of data.And regardless of the way you fix the problem, you need to look at how spyware got on your system in the first place.Spyware uses a few means of infecting most systems. A webpage designed to lure you, infected with the scripts needed to load spyware. A webpage you might hit by "mistyping" a URL., and last, through being part of something you download. In my shop, number one cause of spyware? Mistyped URL's. And it's hard to get people to type perfectly, all the time.The best means of preventing future spyware is by enabling active scripting in IE only for "Trusted Sites". You can do that by going to "Tools", Internet Options, Security, then highlight "Internet". Choose "Custom Options", and disable all three scripting options. Input the URL's of any sites you trust, such as Avsim, in the trusted sites zone.Or, for many sites, the newer browser alternatives work very well. Firefox is top notch, and reduces your exposure many-fold.Hope this helps. Just remember one rule of spyware--it requires a process, and something to launch the process--and that something is almost always a registry entry launching the process. If you can get to a truly safe mode where the process in question isn't running, then you can delete it, rename it, and delete the registry keys that are launching it.-John

Get rid of internet explorer, and try Mozilla Firefox. http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Firefox/30...9.html?tag=list

While you might be safe I would not assume that you are completely safe since the possibly infected files still reside on your hard drive and can still cause damage. Have you tried doing a search on Google for something like "DVDPlay virus" or something similar? There are several articles that could be of help to you, look for other files that are created on your hard drive by whatever virus or worm listed in the article and if you find them you have found the cause and can get rid of it. Please do not just think that since you have installed Mozilla you and others are safe, it could still act against you or send copies of itself out to others. Yes, it is possible that you will be ok but please do not assume this, the only way to be safe is to remove the offending files completely. Maybe over the weekend I can offer you some more help with this but this week I am swamped with calls, most of them from people who are infected with a virus. Ah, the joys of working on computers for a living. Good luck!Philip Olsonhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg
