I was quite impressed with it...You're welcome. I was quite impressed with it and found it via a geeky website. One of the major problems with some malware, like the AVG tool bar (the specific item I struggled with), is that the first thing they install is a program that goes into your system restore. This means that, when you attempt to get rid of the beast via using system restore, you simply re-infect your machine.<br /><br />Incidentally, I use an anonymous sign in here, because my usual posting ID is handled via Disqus.

It was an intrusive piece of crap, that took over damn near everything. <br /><br />I downloaded Revo Uninstaller and ran it to get rid of the mess.
