Also, when I goto system informaton I get the same message with a different title "CiceroUIWndFrame: helpctr.exe - Bad Image".
This has been appearing for about a month to six weeks now. AT first it was just a annoyance which I decided to grin and bare at login. However now the system performance slows down from time to time causing my work to almost come to a standstill for a few minutes at a time.
I have pasted my spyware scan log, hijackthis log and uninstall log as requested by the forum rules.
I will await your feedback as to how to remove whatever infection I have picked up.
thanks for the help in advance.
Kenneth Moore.
