Hi Jet,
Here's the blow by blow;
I could not find and delete the file C:\WINTT\system32\hpD2BE.tmp
When I restarted my computer after leaving Safe Mode, Ad-Watch detected registry modification attempts
and asked if I wanted to allow or block the mods. The attempts were all blocked. The Ad-Watch event log
is included below.
Thanks again for your help
