I have a computer with a bogus winlogon.exe that was installed via some

adware program. It is always running and utilizing 50% of my cpu. I have

run spy-bot and defender and I am unable to remove this file. Can anyone

assist?

    To Carey Frisch......

     

    per your advice to "ghutnick", I went to the Windows LiveOne Safety site to

    use the free scanner for what may be a similar problem, but when I try to

    download and utilize a scan, I keep getting one script error message window

    after another and I've tried clicking "yes" and "no" to run the page anyway,

    but another window pops up immediately. Why is that happening?
