I have been having some trouble with two programs running. I delete them and
use hijackthis and make sure they are gone from startup. I then go into the
registry and delete them, after which I reboot and delete the executables in
c:\winnt and c:\winnt\system32 they mysteriously reappear the next day I am
running norton antivirus corporate edition. The name of the 2 files are
noadsense.exe, and rnaapp2.exe a search of google shows up nothing. Can
anyone shed some light on these?
