Hi
I have a major problem on a PC.
Installed on the machine is something called slotch bar and it is impossible to remove. I have tried running anti virus software but I cannot get it to run all I get taken to is a Web site where nothing appear on the screen. I have downloaded spybot and run it it detects and destroys all the spy ware but after a reboot it is all back again. I cannot install any windows updates basically the machine is becoming unusable. I want to aviod formatting if possible as there are some business files that I need to keep. I don;t want to back these up now with the risk of keeping infected files. The machine has not had any windows updates for a long time including SP1 simply because it is used in another office over a dial up connection. Can anyone suggest a way to permanently remove slotch bar and its subsiduries.
Cheers
