Re: Rivarts.A

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Run
Zsys = %sysdir%\ zsys.exe
where %sysdir% is the Windows system directory

Stuart, do I have to only delete %sysdir% as I cannot find this exact string, I have just down loaded and ran Ad-aware it found 15 problems but on re-boot the nasty was back, how come only Windows defender is the only spy ware programmer to detect it ? I have the other utilities you mentioned but they cannot deal with this problem either !

Might take a while but may be the best way forward....
Thank you for that if all else fails I will have to go down that route !
