    EDIT: that should say CurrentVersion but for some reason the board is adding a space in there.

    There isn't an entry.

    My bad, that should read:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    and if youre on XP (or omg hopefully not ME)....
    turn off system restore when you do spy/ad/virus cleanups
    it only takes a second to turn it off, and you can turn it back on just as easily
    (after the cleaning and a reboot of course)
    could save ya a lot of trouble

    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    Hmm, it's gotta be somewhere for msconfig to see it... can you scan with hijackthis again and clean it out with that?
