So don't worry if you can't find the file afterwards anymore - HijackThis already deleted it. But it's always a good idea to doublecheck.Please make sure you don't delete "similar looking" files as they may be legitimate.In case when you're in doubt or it didn't solve your problem, please start a NEW thread in the HijackThisforum with your HijackThislog.FYI... Ad-Aware removes this pest as well. So make sure you have the latest updates.
