WToolsA / WToolsS

[Allan <larsmith () tds net>]

Anyone here have any experience with WToolsA and/or WToolsS ?

I noticed, in the RUN folder on a WXP PC, an entry involving WinTools. Deleted the entry. Closed the RUN folder, opened 
it again and the entry was right back there.

Didn't surprise me when I deleted the WinTools folder on the PC and got an "access denied" error, stating that the 
program / folder contents were in use.

Nor did it surprise me when I did Ctrl-Alt-Del and went to the Processes tab, that I saw WToolsA running.  When I tried 
to "End Process", it came right back up.  Same with WToolsS.

Anyone know of any effective tools for removing it ?

Farz I know, it's ad/spyware but even the latest of Ad-Aware and SpyBot didn't even notice / remove the problem.
