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. Allan Smith, NCAA, NDAA
