Spyware that will not go away

I have a setup program that starts everytime i boot my computer. It comes up in my spyware scanner amd I can't get rid of it. I've tried to remove it from the reg, but I can't find the startup program that starts when my computer is booted.

What's it called? If worst comes to worst then...reformat.:)

Its the hijacker called freescratch and win. I delete it, but when i restart it just comes back. Where do i look to manually delete the startup string?

will adaware take care of this bad boy. I know the worst thing you could do that thing is to 10000% reformat the drive, but we should be able to destroy it with some software.

Definitely get Adaware 6. Look in your objects folder under tools in IE(if you have it). Look in msconfig. There are a lot of th8ings that can be done so my reformat suggestion was a little overboard, lol!:eek:

Have you tried run/msconfig. Also, you may want to delete it while you're in safe mode, so it's not running while you're trying to delete it. Plus, you may want to try regcleaner. You can also edit what starts up with Windows using regcleaner.
