    Default Reader_s

    Found reader_s process running on my daughter's computer after she reported process shutdown warnings on windows startup. After lots of online search and running S&D plus avg, nothing seems to clean this. I've even seen references to it requiring a complete reformat. I seem to have manually cleaned it mostly by deleting files and removing registry keys, but i am not going to risk restarting the machine until i've copied all my daughters homework etc to cd's (which i'm not going to touch until i can figure out how to remove this bear).

    Has anyone else seen, cleaned dealt with this? S&D doesn't find it.
