    Hi,

    I have a programme on my system which I just can't get rid of?
    It was a CD Key changer, once extracted. it comes in 2 parts..

    An application
    Anicon which has the following sub MYDOCU~1\D-LOADS1\BATTLE~1.EXE


    these are the basics...

    The main-one is where its linked to an MS Dos which just won't go...
    it keeps telling me that its not an System32 applicaton and I can't get rid off as its being used by another programme ( could this be the DOS aspect working) is there a way of finding out what other programme is using it?


    Any help welcome...

    Have you just tried booting in safe mode and deleting the two files you mentioned:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\Battlefield 2 Keygen Serial.exe
    C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\Battlefield 2 Keygen Serial.PIF


    A word of advise: do not use kegens or cracks. It is a good way to get yourself infected with malware.
