    I have performed a full system scan with spyware doctor and was able to remove 89 of 90 objects. The one that is left is huntbar. The scan with spyware dr. and norton antivirus said it was located in:
    C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\QDow_AS2.dll

    I have gone to the downloaded program files and there are only four objects listed there they are
    shockwave flash object
    two java run time envirnonments and
    IWinAmpActiveX Class

    I have looked at all the file names for these objects and none are QDow_AS2.dll

    How do I find this freaking huntbar? I have reran the scan about five times and it still comes up. I have tried searching files and folders with part and all of the name and I get nothing.

    Please help me!!!! It is driving me up the wall. thanks

    You never stated your OS so I will assume WinXP.

    You cannot view files in the Downloaded Program Files folder by normal methods. You must use either the command prompt or a program like ExplorerXP

    Steps to delete QDow_AS2.dll:
    - Click Start, Run, and enter cmd in the box and click OK. This opens a commend prompt windows.
    - Enter the following command lines each followed by the enter key
    cd C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\
    attrib -r -h -s QDow_AS2.dll
    del QDow_AS2.dll
    exit

    You're welcome! Are you sure you have no other infections on you system. Experience has taught us that in most cases there is more than one problem. Some of them just do not show themselves to you.
