60Now you are on the right track. I downloaded HijackThis and ran it.
60Thank you so very much for the suggestion. I checked out the result
60list and noticed there was a line after internet explorer to also
60start a file by the name of isignup.exe, so I searched the registry
60for every mention of this file name as well as any reference to the
60original programs directory and deleted then. I then did a search of
60my hard drive for the file and deleted it after stopping it from
60running in the background by using the Task Manager and now every
60thing is back on track....I hope. At least I can now start both
60programs independently.
