794015 2009-07-22 04:33:00 Hi,

At the suggetion of a mate, I ran a hijack this and used http://hjt.networktechs.com/ which works over all, quite well--I had 7 red lined intrusions which I took out fairly easily
One will NOT delete and going to the equivalent website, did no good as to how to delete it---it being ---04 HKCU\run exe.\C winows\system 32\CTFMON.exe

By floating the cursor over the entry it describes it as a "parasitic program" and as it is red lined in the hjt - has to be removed --but how?

In plain old fellows english please :eek:

Gee ! that was quick

I have recently replaced Office 2003 with Office 2007 -- quite legit and am I glad it was a birthday present:p looking at the recommended price

Why does that say "parasitic then?

Too true, many viruses desiguise themselves as SYstem files...
