That's what you get for staying up playing on the computer all night.</lecture> Have you deleted the program or is it still on your machine? Have you done a scan with AdAware? Have you looked for it in the registry? Might be a bit tricky editing the registry to try and remove it though. If you have removed the program use a regcleaner and maybe that will remove it.

I got rid of it by using regcleaner, but first had to remove internet explorer from the ignore list (found under options/registry cleanup/ignore list). cheers	MarkB (486)
