There isn't an entry. :huh:

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 meant delete the entry in msconfig, using software.

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