It comes up on every scan but I can't remove it with Spybot S&D. Is there any way I can get rid of it without having to buy anything?
I have AVG Free Edition and Ad-Aware SE Personal but they don't pick it up on scans. I'm not very good with computers so please describe how to remove it simple for me. :red:

Sorry for the double post but I forgot to mention I use Windows 2000 so some anti-virus software you recommend mightn't be compatible.
Hi Spelonker
Click here (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe) to download HJTInstall.exe
Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
