Hello, my first post to this group:

I've been trying unsuccessfully to rid my machine of the program "Once
Dead.exe". I run Windows XP and IE.

I've gone through SpyKiller, bought the program, and I've not been
successful in getting rid of this pest. I also run Norton Internet
Security 2004.

I see the entry in my registry: HKLM\..\Run: [PeakFork]
C:\PROGRA~1\Rdrview\Once Dead.exe

I remove the entry, and it comes back every time. Whenever I try to
delete the program, it makes IE go to www.prosearching.com for my home
page. So there must be some other place that is driving this. I can
not delete the file itself. I've tried to go back to DOS and use the
attrib command, but it also won't let me change the file.

I'm guessing that the booger is in a .dll someplace.

Can anyone offer me a suggestion? Thanks Much, Ray McIntire, West
Bend, WI
