    If you just back up your data then wipe hard drive you will be OK.
    I would sure write this co a real Nasty letter. Looks like they have enough bad reviews. Sorry you got screwed by them.
    Just go through your list of things to back up.
    E-mail
    Browser bookmarks
    Any picture and downloads you want to save.
    Any other data files you need.
    Take your time and back up only your data that you need or use.
    Then format and reinstall o/s
    I do know the people on the hijack site will be able to help, just might take a day or so plus you sending them your log files of whats running.
    Your choice, if me I backup and format.
    Good luck, let us know how you work things out.

      Dude,
      FYI (in case you didn't already know) - Someone installed this program on your PC to monitor you. Here is what they installed to keep an eye on things:

        Freon...

        Looks as if you have a Keylogger installed. Some keyloggers are pretty simple and others quite complicated. One technique they use is to install into a non-descript directory which the installer creates (names). At boot the system will create the directory that you are seeing but the directory that spawns the whole process is an unknown.

        The reason Webwatcher will delete it is that they have a backdoor I am betting. IMHO I would save yourself the grief and the lingering doubt and flatten the drive and re-install the OS. That way you know you have a clean system.

          Can you go "run" and disable from starting up via msconfig ?
          Or go in as Admin and hunt the root down and delete that way ?

            Its a rootkit, you need to reinstall the OS... its the only way to be sure.
