Give it a rest, please, David. We're here to help others, not criticize
those trying to offer help. If you want to append my posts with your
comments or alternate suggestions, please do so.

I find Stinger to be a useful, general tool to rule /out/ those Trojans. I
don't claim it to be an "investigational tool"; I recommend it to eliminate
some likely possibilities.

Furthermore, I've found most posters don't have the understanding to use
Sysclean correctly or effectively (or the patience to learn).
