C:\Program Files\Surfairy...? Try checking Add/Remove Programs too (Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs)

Delete all the files in your Temp folder too.

If that doesn't work, run a scan with HijackThis and post the results.

*edit* - Glad I could help.

Had it up to here with my AVG not loading properly. Uninstalling - Reinstalling seems to fix it. Until I reset/Shutdown the comp, then I have to do it all over again.

Anyone got any good equivilents (sp?) to the AVG program?

PS - I already use Spybot S+D, Ad-Aware and HijackThis.
