When I last rebooted, a small -blank- icon appeared in my tool tray.It announces my IP when hovered over and when dble right clickedit offers two choices 'current connections' and about.When current connections is selected it says there is none connected.When About is selected it says,'Remote Administrator server v2.1 for win9x.etcUnregistered copy. I imagine it is 'cuz I never knew it existed until now.There have been virus definitions from Norton that had similarly named threats and I never purposely put it there.Is there a way to remove it? tried traditional removal methodsThanks in advance.BT. Radmin HJTRBS-Thanks for responding.

I've learned my lesson and done Exactly what you suggest, unlike a past episode with home-search-asstntThe only dilemma I had was trying to update Ad-Aware; it announced an error reaching the server, so I had to make due with January's last update.Find enclosed the HJT.It seems o.k, but that's why I leave it in your capable hands.BTThanks PatioThanks poetner1274PS: I have been to the radmin forum.uninstall thread, however I trust RBS' advice and thought I'd start here. Thank you for the flowers!C:WINNTsystem32WISPTIS.EXEUnless you have a tablet-PC, get rid of this MS-Pest wisptis.exe. It is NOT a virus or spyware, just annoying.It is a rather involved process in the Registry, so make a backup of Registry before you start.See instructions here:I don't think CWShredder is supposed to run as a service, if you set any switches in that program to keep running, switch it off. You got yourself a nasty worm, W32/Rbot-WFGo here to get rid of it:Follow the tabs under the worm-name (Summary/Description/Recovery/Advanced)After you followed their instructions, you can check with HJT if any of these are still there:C:WINNTsystem32scvhvst.exeO4 - HKLM.Run: Microsoft Office Studio scvhvst.exeO4 - HKLM.Run: MSN Beta SVCHOSTdll.exeO4 - HKLM.RunServices: Microsoft Office Studio scvhvst.exeO4 - HKLM.RunServices: MSN Beta SVCHOSTdll.exeO4 - HKCU.Run: Microsoft Office Studio scvhvst.exeO4 - HKCU.Run: MSN Beta SVCHOSTdll.exeThey should not.

The rest of your log is clean. Sophos-'uninstall any antivirus programs.'

RBS-Thanks for the link, however in order to follow your instructions, hence their instructions, they ask that I remove my existing anti virus program.My problem with this is; that PC was given to me 'as is' with programs but no CD's for any reinstallations.If I was to uninstall, I have no way of getting them back for free that is.Is it not possible to run HJT and/or edit the registry to fix the listed culprits?, or will they replicate and continue to be a nuisance to my system?I have left everything as is until I hear back from you with any suggestions.Thanks for your patience,BT.
