So pleased you got everything fixed. Can I ask...
where did you find this info;

I searched forever and never found this worm in reference to this file name. If I see it again I will know.
I only found it in regards to a LOP infection

AVG Anti Spyware. It was also labeled as a "high" risk infection.

If anyone else with this problem wants a "quick fix" don't bother downloading/installing a bunch of tools, just download AVG Anti Spy, update it, run a scan and it will find and delete it. Just make sure wintest.exe IS running while scanning.

I just searched emule for steinberg sequel and found this txt file:

Steinberg Sequel 1.20 Paradox is a fake-How to Clean Up Read Here.txt

and inside the file in reads:

Steinberg Sequel 1.20 Paradox is a fake installing wintest.exe on your computer.

Read the following link to clean up the mess:

Well what do ya know...someone out there seen this thread, most likely fixed thier problem and posted a text file solution to the problem for others.

Right On!

Yep, that's my doing.

AVG Anti-Spyware did remove wintest.exe for me also
(And found even more spyware, although I sweep my computer almost weekly with many other programs like Ad-aware, Spy-Bot,Spy Sweeper, Hitman Pro 2,...)

AVG Anti-Spyware can be downloaded here:

If all you wanted was a quick fix and not a solution as to how to avoid futher problems,why even start a thread?The moderators here have a lot more people to help,who will actually take heed to the advice and not just pick and choose what they feel their situation demands.I will give you the benifit of the doubt that you have some knowledge of a computer and what makes it tick,but these people here have been doing this for a long time and have seen the effects of taking shortcuts.So before Judy lets you know about telling others to take shortcuts,just keep it in mind that many who come here may not have the same knowledge as yourself.
