It's too bad you didn't include Avira AntiVir in your list as this security program is rated as being the best in it's class. If you want a long list of those Rogue programs, have a look at this site www.xp-vista.com . You will have all of the new ones along with the manual removal for most of them. One word of warning, they promote SpyHunter which should NOT be recommended to anyone. It's too bad they have this on site as the removal instructions are good. Another little security app. to use in case you are infected would be RogueFix : www.internetinspiration.co.uk/roguefix.htm and if you still can't get the thing off your PC then give ComboFix a try. Just be careful to follow the instructions to the letter. Athlonite Hey Frank !
