Hello.
Thank you for your tips on removing the winupd.exe file. However, when I go to Start|Run|regedit,
it never comes up! If I try to access it again, it gives me a Windows error message
saying "Registry Editor has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience." What can I do??? This trojan is driving me nuts! Thanks!
