I recently dealt with this so called totempole problem. The application was
a slipper fellow, but i was able to locate it as r41.qcxi.exe. However, finding it
turned out to be the easiest problem. I fought it for an hour trying to get it and
its partners expunged. To make it go away you must first end task the application,
which may or may not be easy for you. The application for me killed my task manager
so i had to manually go into the msconfig and locate the file via the startup tab.
After i killed that from starting up when booting, it made it simple to get rid of
the last bits. Then standard deleting, makes the rest gone. However, like spyder
wrote, its a slipery application so, for best results on making problem go away,
i recommend trying to remember when problem started and look in your system32 files
for created dates on these such problems. Hope you get your problem fixed and if
already fixed, maybe this will help some other random victim.
