You might try BHO demon like David Lipman suggested. There are registry
entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
and\or RunOnce
Deleting these keys would normally fix the problem. There are also some
entries in CLSID which is where active X controls are referenced. By using
the edit->find and searching for and E2G as the search string, you can find
all of the related references and delete them. The reason it reloads on
reboot is the Run or the RunOnce key. The problem is, the registry entries
are recreated on reboot. The question I have is how????? The only thing
that I can come up with is that it hides in system restore, so you might try
going to System Restore (right click my computer and select the System
Restore tab, and check the "Turn off system restore box." Then, run a
spyware removal tool like Spyware Doctor or even the Microsoft tool. Then
try rebooting after it is cleaned. Try this and tell me if it has any
effect. I gave up on the system I had that was infected and reinstalled the
OS, but I would still like to know if anything works. Please respond with
your efforts.
