 Sorry for the confusion that I caused in posting to separate groups. I
thought my question would get more exposure. I tried the highjack software,
found the entry you posted, and clicked fix on highjack. the entry was
deleted from the list on highjack and I rebooted. But no results when I
tried to remove the entry that is still on my add/remove list. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Martin
