the fucker doesnt make it easy at all. The DLLs are all locked by some process, but autoruns, process explorer & DTaskManager cant see what it is.

If i remove/disable the keys from the registry, they recreate themselves.

I got one last week, only managed to get rid of it after running adaware, spybot and malwarebytes antimalware in safe mode, they all found different bits, mine came from a dodgy keygen, oops!

If you need to see which process is holding a file, you need Handle

cheers, but i wiped & reinstalled this morning.

Went remarkably quickly actually, considering i didnt use an image. I keep all data/docs/profiles etc on a different drive, so it wasnt too much trouble.

I'm now back at the original issue. I need adobe illustrator... dont know where to sweep it now

That'd be fine, but i kinda need it now. Need to get some business cards printed in time for a conference thing i have to go to next week.
Any chance of FTPing it over to me perchance? How big is it?

Illustrator is part of Creative Suite, CS3 is the current verison, I believe.

Don't suppose Inkscape is any good for what you need?

Yeah thats the sort of thing. Anything that can save a proper vector EPS file would do the trick.

MagicalBerk saves the day again though, thanks guys.

Much appreciated, but MagiclBerk managed to sweep it very efficiently. I think he must use an industrial wet&dry vac or something.
