I think this program was installed by Kazaa which has plenty of adware installed on it (BTW, if you use Kazaa, get this www.kazaalite.com, no adware) and I've since deleted the program but some folders still remain from I believe it is the adware portion. Folders such as... b3dlogo, Cache, Movies, mskin, update. Here's the weird thing... it's on an NTFS hard-drive and if I check the security for the folders, there are no groups or users who have access to the folder, it's completely blank! So since it is completely blank, and not even the admin (me) can get access to the folder. So how can I take ownership of these folders to delete them? Thanks, Derek

When Windows XP loads there maybe a registry value which initialises this folder and a programme in it as it was once attached to a programme. I'd try searching the registry for signs of the adware that were there and maybe try deleting them. But be very careful and backup ur registry.

You could add admin as a new user or take ownership of the files. Also, download 
Ad-aware from
