Hi Yahya,

I've been passed a computer which had various viruses and Trojans on it.
The owner failed to update his antivirus software.

Trend, Norton and McAfee found the virues, and various adware/spyware
programs have found registry and infected files. I've carried out various
instructions on how to remove entries in the registry etc but in this
instance whatever I do a file called okinr.dll comes back to the Windows
directory and the web browser is reset to read
res://okinr.dll/index.html~10213.

Any ideas apart from formatting the disk!

Regards
