Hi, Twas certainly a rootkit that was kernel based. I had the same thoughts on the pay to get it fixed. No way! Rootkiller found it and got it out, but the file structure etc was still encrypted. So I reformatted it and made a clean load. Thanks for the information I am sure it will help others too. Stuff like this has made me nearly want to switch to Linix. I did once and while it was just fine as an operating system, some software I wanted to run was not available (nor anything similar).

Good Listening
Bruce
