    Greetings,
    I have been helping a friend clean his PC of spyware with no problems until we came across a Trojan Downloader identified by the most recent version of Adaware as Con Hook. and it shows in Hijack This as VSTQO.DLL I tried all the basic steps using the methods in your forum with no success, the last time we used Spysweeper and it seemed to work then subsequent scans with spybot s&d and adaware show con hook again?
    I have not been able to find much info on this , so any help you can offer would be much appreciated. the OS is WIN ME , again we followed all the steps we could find here for the most part, we are newbies so excuse us ;)
    We love your site it is most informative and a great resource keep up the good work. again thank you so much...Spyhunter
