Was looking for some music and clicked on preview and
WHAM - got da bug
Used spyhunter adaware norton and spybot
got most out I think
But still have flashing icon in tray
and file C:/WINNT/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
is constantly busy
so I cant put a block site entry in there.
goggle showed me some sites which have software downloads to fix it
LINK
LINK
Are they trustable sites since the bug came from purported bug fix site?
Or are there other suggestions for fixing it?
W2k IE6 all patches installed

Got it fixed
"Spyhunter" got it all out after a couple of passes.
That seemed to be necessary as on first pass it said more would
be deleted on next boot.
So after reboot I ran it again and more was removed with yet more to be
removed on next boot
So reboot again and re-run and
NOW ITS ALL GONE!
also hosts file lock cleared when I changed options in ZoneAlarm firewall
(Didnt recall setting that option!)
