My roommate cursed me with the same parasite last weekend while I was gone away and I have been annoyed by the same problem. I tried KC's method and it did work overnight, I was quite happy, then suddenly it installed again this morning. Where exactly in the WinNT folder is the rb something.exe? I don't see it in the Task Manager or in the NT folder. If anyone finds a permanent solution, please let me know.
