You may have read my thread called yahoomsgr.exe. I delt with that problem, but now it's back in a new form. As I type, I'm being bombarded by notices from spybot that reg changes are being attempted. It will keep nagging me until I allow the changes, which I dont plan on doing. This time, something called AOL Messenger is the cause. I have never installed AOL Instant Messenger or Yahoo messenger for that matter. The associated file name is Aolmsgr.exe. I did a search for this file and came up with nothing. The category is listen as system global startup entry. This says to me that something is trying to add reg values to let some opther piece of spyware run on startup. For all i know this could even be a virus, as its more elusive than any spyware ive seen. I'll say once again that all spyware and virus scans return nothing. All software is up to date. There are no reg values to delete yet, because they dont get added until somone allows the reg changes. I don't know how to remove this because there is nothing to remove. Has anyone ever experienced this? I dont know how this got on my computer. It definately didn't happen on my watch, but others in my house don't really care or pay attention to what theyre doing with this comp so who knows.
