Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	It sounds like spyware to me... Thats what you get for letting your kids on your PC perhaps a non-admin profile for them... it is an XP machine. that will keep stuff out of system32. _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	hmmm, its pointing to system32\winkgio.exe but that is missing ... so the service never starts ... this smacks of gator or the like ... but cant remember, may have removed the exe myself some time ago. now i'm just curious. -Shawn
