thank you David
I had used SpyBot used in the meantime. It showed Smitfraud and
Spysheriff. It wend thru the delete procedure and shows no more entries
found. Biut on the last restart spysheriff was back again and SPYbot
shows both of them again and also a MZS spoolserver32 shows up.
So i will try your procedure now, but there is no McAfee on that laptop
Thank you
