This thing is annoying! I have remove this thing from my system 4 times already. Enough is enough!

Hi trparky,

This is a wellknown variant of ClientMan that is covered by SpywareBlaster.

Could you post your HijackThis log (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/)
Download, Unzip and run HijackThis. Then click Scan > Save log, save the log as a .txt file and copy & paste its content into your next post.
Don´t fix anything yet. Most of what it finds is harmless.

Regards,

Pieter
