Re: My computer's been taken over...
nah it won't show up as a program. if you run regedit you will find it (which I advise you do not do) or run msconfig where you can disable it before removal with system restore...
I think you will be able to run system restore in admin mode anyway

Re: My computer's been taken over...
Some of the keys on my laptop have stopped working, I didn't spill anything on it or something. How can I fix this without using an external keyboard?

OK, here goes. If you don't here from me for some time you'll know it didn't go well...

Re: My computer's been taken over...
Well that was painless. Thanks Millhouse. Restored to yesterday. Turned off all the startup items in Admin mode, but didn't make any difference in logged-on mode. Tried safe start, but the system wouldn't accept my password, so did the system restore in Admin mode and the little bugger's gone.
Thanks again.
And saved me the embarrassment of asking the company's IT to help...

Well that backfired then. I was hoping that would be the last of you.
happy to have helped.
This also works very well when you install something new that accidently totally screws up your PC. Like, for instance, a USB glowing dildo.

Re: My computer's been taken over...
... by a rectangular picture with 2 photos of the same topless women, script that is garbbled, and a countdown clock starting at 13:00:00 which resets every time I re-start. The picture is always on top. Can't use the internet, but Outlook works. Can't use Task Manager. Clicking on the picture does nothing, and can't remove it.
Using my computer now in Administrator mode, and doing a scan but nothing coming up. Have looked for any new programs using Control Panel in Admin mode, but nothing there.
Any suggestions?
