| 406897 | 2005-11-23 18:42:00 | Try the steps here (www.symantec.de) to remove it. Or get this (dl.filekicker.com) which has this adware in its database. Install / run trojan remover, and click on scan. Then select the 3rd - 7th option in the utilities menu. And then go to the file menu in this and select scan for active malware, and scan running processes, if the above doesn't work. |

| 406900 | 2005-11-23 20:01:00 | ok i did remove the file via norton antivirus, now a program is looking for it. i checked msconfig and there is nothing there asking for the file. only mention of the file \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\mrxmixer9.sys is in the registry how do i get the computer to stop looking for file or how can i replace the file? if i do a system restore will that put the file back? |

| 406902 | 2005-11-23 20:07:00 | thanks system restore worked. wonder why norton picked up the file as adware |

| 406903 | 2005-11-23 20:22:00 | Nortons actually isn't as good as most people think it is. As I am currently in the process of checking out 2 AV's (Antivir and Nod32) I can't really suggest anything better than AVG at this stage (for a freebie anyway) |

Apparently this spyware installs with random names. If it was a genuine program file name chances are that you'd find some refs on Google. You can upload suspect files here for a second opinion http://virusscan.jotti.org/ |

You can upload suspect files here for a second opinion http://virusscan.jotti.org/ scanned the file and it found nothing wrong with it. no found no reference on it in google but it does seem to be part of my audio drivers since i checked and the file was installed at same time i updated my realtek drivers. seems its a legacy driver |
