Spyware from hell Old Wed Oct 20, 2004 7:56:23 PM #10102 Perm Link
I have been cleaning spyware from a computer at work and have generally had good success getting rid of them.
This time there is a program that loads up on boot even in safe mode. When I end task on it it pops right back in.
Does anyone know where that could be loading up from in safe mode?

More than likely the program is a trojan virus of some sort that has spawned as part of saome spyware or adware.

Try running a full system scan using Norton or McAfee.

Here's an example of a program that loads on bootup and regenerates itself in the registry each time you remove it...I and many others call them Stinger programs.
