    I have tried most of the posted fixes here, and even the latest hsremove.exe. It keeps coming back with new file names. I have system restore disabled and have used Ad-Aware, Spybot, and HJ-this. I have been trying for a week to get rid of this %$$#&^^*&i**ing thing, to to avail.

    Should I just give up and reload XP.

    I cant go back with system restore, because there are no previous dates to go to. I don't know why....

    I gave up and did it. It only took me a couple of hours to reload xp and some other software. That's about 1/10 the time I have spent trying to beat this HSA. Someone should find the guys that makt this and........................

    I may have bastardized my system trying to remove HSA, so maybe some of the fixes would not work... Hope there is a good fix or guard before I get it again....

    Thanks for the replys....

    I will watch my system restore daily to make sure it is making backups........
