Hi,
I've the Elite spyware on my PC. The file called during bootup is
c:\windows\system32\eliteymo32.exe but they've hidden it from view in
Explorer. I've turned on the "Show system files" options etc. but it
won't display. The value in the registry ('etbrun')keeps coming back seconds
after I delete it with regedit. I've tried ad-aware, xoftware, and
spysweeper but none remove it permanently.

How can I delete this file? I've Windows XP Professional.

Also is it possible to bring a class action lawsuit against
searchmedia.com for maliciously infecting so many PCs this way?

Thks.
