while on the internet an unwanted program was installed
without my knowledge on my computer. was able to delete
the program in safe mode but my computer keeps trying to
run it everytime i reboot. it says it couldn't load or
run the program. make sure it exists or remove the
reference to it in the registry. how do i find the
reference in the registry? please help.
thanks,
jim
