It's called System Tool... and it's messing up bastet44's laptop.
I thought I had nailed it... ran in safemode, ran Spysweep, it found it and I deleted... guess what... it's STILL THERE. I am sick and fucking tired of these sites that direct you to questionable fixes that promise solutions that only run scans and then tell you it will cost you $30 to download the fix. I don't trust anyone enough these days to give up a credit card number. Does anyone have a fix for this? |

If it keeps coming back it's in the registry.
If you found it there and cleared the registry, you need a better spyware tool. I know adaware and spybot are popular and free, for the life of me I can't remember what I used last, it's been so long. FWIW, I don't run any antivirus programs, I find them to do more harm than good. |

Malwarebytes should take care of it. Although I had one the other day that I had to download a linux based bootable image and create a CD to get that one.

Sometimes all it takes is one product.
Other times it may be 2,3,4 or more to find the little bugger. WHen a bug becomes evasive, I pull the drive and have a "mule" computer scan the drive in a cradle. |

A momentous day in guru-land. Steve and Andy are on common ground. They actually agree on something.
 . Steve helped me through a similar situation. Between his suggestions and my sons probing, I have been problem free for about 6 months now. Once again guru helps guru.  |

Of course not. The hot water tank won't hold up that long, even an 80 gallon. You'll take lukewarm to cold showers until the wee hours of the morning |
