This one was easy to kill. !! ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE BEEN INFECTED !! !! BE VERY WHEN KILLING THINGS IN THIS WAY YOU CAN STOP YOUR PC OR PROGRAMMES FROM WORKING!!! !!--YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK--!! Go into safe mode. Start -> Run - > type "msconfig". Check theres nothing out of place. If there is untick it. Ctrl-alt-delte ONCE. All versions of windows. See whats running, if something is out of place, stop it. Load explorer of file manager. Goto the windows directory. View by list then date. See the 5 or 6 .EXE files with todays date, very small ones 15-150k ? Delete them. BE CAREFULL WHAT YOU DELETE IN HERE. Exit explorer start -> run- type regedit. Press F3 and search using the following word: runonce Check the entrys are OK, if in doubt phone a friend and google the item using another machine. Some stuff for example: mdac_runonce.exe is safe. If it's unsafe delete that entry, (see sample screenshot), but NOT the folder it's in. If shows a file or folder thats obviously bad delete that, in this instance I had to delete a folder called msdownload.tmp from the window directory. Exit regedit, empty your browsers cache. aka temporary internet files in IE. Finally run your anti-virus scanner and any anti-trojan/spyware tools. PLEASE REMEMBER YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I won't take or accept any responsibility if you break your PC.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
