Hi Kaylene,

Thanks for your help.

I ran Ad-Aware 6.0 and it found serious amounts of stuff and then successfully quarantined and deleted the bad stuff.

However i still get the cashback.exe crappy thing running in the processes and its starting to annoy me.

Any written articles on manually stopping known name processes from starting in the processes tab of task manager?

Anymore help appreciated.!
