Personally, I would suggest running a program called "Hijack This" its free, small, good. It is at www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

run it and post a log file to see if it is dastardy virs/spyware thing or just an annoying little bugger.

Are you having symptoms or is it just the fact the file is there that is bugginf you?

Hey! you registered! (and you said you wouldn't... sneaky... very sneaky...)

Anyways, try this file deletion utility. I think it does its stuff at the table level.

Oops. Is the URL tag still on? darn it.

There we go.

Try booting off the XP CD, and going into the Recovery Console. You will get a DOS-like screen. Try using the DEL command to delete it from there. There's a small chance it will work, since you will be outside of Windows.

Yea, goodie tried it, and so did I, but it takes the "." off automatically. I don't know why your computer is doing that, but both of us have tried taking the extension off, and neither of us had the problem.
