Isn't XP wonderful, so well liked that even the spyware companies can't
wait to jump on the bandwagon and add their dodgy software to an already
dodgy OS.

Try out AVG antispyware, I'm sure I've removed this one and the annoying
"system is low on resources"

HijackThis is a good program to play around with when you are deleting
Spylocked's dlls and stuff. Sometimes these programs are so poorly written
that changing the name of the directory they are running from will cripple
them.
