    Thanks to chaslang and a thousand blessings.

    I had been searching the Internet for days to solve the e2give infection that I could not remove, no matter what, until I found the E2Give Removal Procedure, which worked!

    I'm wondering if there is a similar fix for one of the many other little friends on this computer, in particular I'd like to remove the AIMclient.exe that is spawned by wkssvc.

    thanks again.

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    I'm happy to hear the e2Give procedure helped you.

    For AIMclient.exe, there is not written procedure since it is not a big deal to remove and there are thousands of problems like this. Just too many to write a procedure for each.

    If you want to remove it yourself, you need to stop and then disable the NT service. Then you need to delete the NT service. Then reboot and delete the related file. If you do not know how to do this, you will have to follow the procedures below. It is probably a good idea to do this anyway since you already had two infections, you could have more.

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
