David: I did download and tried to run Sysclean. However,
I get an error that LPG$VPN.* is missing. However,
LPG$VPN.244 is located in the same folder that
sysclean.com is located in. Tried many times to execute
sysclean. No luck, any ideas?

 FYI
I have run Adaware 1.05 will all updates, Sysbot,
NoAdware today with all latest updates and found no
virus/spyware.

Run AVG daily, too.

What am I doing wrong with sysclean for it not to locate
LPG$VPN.244? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!!!
