PS

Well, it wasn't okay. The thing was still there. Every time I rebooted the computer, it reinstalled itself. Very annoying. I did some research on it last night, and figured out what it was, and found several sites giving instrutions for removing it--a regular virus scan won't do it. It sounded like this was the perfect solution, but the website where the solution (a downloadable application) could be found wasn't loading.

I eventually found a site that was hosting an earlier version of the application, so this morning I downloaded that and tried it, but without success. I thought at first that it had worked, because it found and deleted a couple of things, but then once I rebooted, it came back.

But the IT guy at the client site came up with the most recent version and sent it to us, and that did work, thank goodness.

I'm not going to mention what the problem (or solution) was here, because I don't want to worry about keeping the link updated, and I don't want this page show up on search engines. But if anyone is having a problem with something that sounds like what I described yesterday, email me and I'll tell you what worked for me.
