Thanks.
Hi Scott,

I am not familiar with Powersuite 2007, though I have had similar "home-made" tools over the years. I am not as up-to-date on tech stuff these days as I am transitioning from "tech guy" back to "liberal arts guy." LOL!

That may be why I can't see anything in those logs - they all look pretty clean.

The ones that raise my suspicion are Quicksweeper, Regcure and XSoftspy . The latter two because, if I remember back a few years, required purchase to remove stuff and may have been on Spyware Warrior's Rogue List.
-- Have you completely uninstalled QuickSweeper?

Anyhoo, I imagine the problem started BEFORE those products were installed, so we rule them out.

The only other thing I can think of is that C:\Program Files\BlueStar Is that the Astronomy program?
It might be tied to VitalStream/Internap in some way. Perhaps it uses a product or service. Maybe we should e-mail THEM!?

-- What about Process Explorer? Any luck tracking the rogue .exe in TEMP?

Sorry I can't be more help. There ARE a few more scanners we can try, but let me know what you find with PE first.

Best
