    Can anyone help me? A Remote Administrator icon showed up on my toolbar about a month ago. Nothing related to Remote Admin shows in my list of installed programs, tasks, or services.

    I'm running Norton, SpyBot, and Adaware. I've done online scans with Norton and Micro-Trend. I also ran a trial test with Spy-Doctor. None pick up the problem. The platform is Windows XP Pro....(and yeah, I've downloaded an mp3 here and there, but only for a few seconds of trial before I bought the real CD's)

    I ran hijack this for the first time, but I don't have enough experience to understand the log. I'm hoping for advice on what to try or where to look next.

    Please save me, oh mighty Spyware experts.

    Nope, I'm at home. I have 4 CPU's on my home network, but they pretty much share the internet connection and otherwise should never know each other exist.

    I know about the Remote Administrator program, I've used it at work before. It definitely shouldn't be on my home CPU. I'm the only one in the house who uses this PC. Fortunately, only one CPU is infected.

    BTW, there is no file or folder with the name "radmin" on my entire hard drive (which happens with ethical remote admin installations).
