Hello:

I am having a lot of trouble with a spyware
called web rebates, or top rebates. It has planted itself in my program
files folder. I have tried two different spyware programs, and they cant
remove it. I have tried to delete it, and it deletes for a few minutes and
just keeps on reinventing itself.
Virus scans dont pick it up. The adware programs
pick it up, but say they cant remove it. I am using xp pro, and when you go
to see whats running, it shows up twice in task manager procecces and uses a
lot of cpu usage. Plus it constantly brings up an egg timer on my cursor.
Anyone, have any fixes.


Much regards Jerry

Did you try booting to safe mode and running your programs?
