    I found a folder on mu=y C drive called Backups (in a direcetoy I made called Ultilities). I was folowing suggestions to restore my system after getting a clean bill of health on virus/spyware. This is the folder that I used to file my HJT logs before uploading them. It also has some of the spyware programs and a few other things I don't remember putting in there such as Relist.ref which has to do with E-FAX, a program I have been trying to get rid of for a month, but parts of it still shows up.

    Most curious is the Backup folder in there, I didn't make it. Worst I found an .inf file for FunWebProducts (spyware?), and one .dll belonging to Trend Micro co. I think they make Housecall which I found mention of in a 016 line in an earlier HJT log scan. I visisted their web site and found it pecurliar that they did not have any "Current Programs" or "Current News". Maybe they meant "new' for "current". The company is in Japan. Are they a legitament company?

    Of course, I am deleting the FunWebProducts file, but can you tell me who or what the other "Backup" files pertain too? Working with these parasites has made me a little paranoid...can you tell?

    Thanks, Cranky
    PS just found out I can't upload the folder, so have included 2 files although there are more. The others are just called backup files.

    HJT puts backups in a folder called Backups.
