Lisa - this is why I want you to run the diagnostic from the INFECTED
machine - I can update our definitions to detect and remove what we
apparently did not catch on your system:

The diagnostic let's me "see" what is running and what we missed.......

Am currently in the process of reformatting/reloading the machine, I just
can't afford to put any more time into this; I've already lost 18 hours
trying different fixes. If I run across this problem again I will try the
other 2 remedies suggested further down this thread & see if that does
anything then, but I gotta get this machine up as it's a business machine .

The diagnostic takes all of 2 minutes to run and would help many other
users by identifying what was not detected by many programs.....too
late I guess.
