Hi Folks, Spybot can't seem to clear Rapid Blaster automatically with the Fix button. Is this a common problem? Is there a manual fix that I can use? Thanks for all of your help (and I mean ALL of it!) J Lo

I posted this on another section but thought I would also put it here just in case. I screwed up and accidently deleted, what I believe was a file titled "systray.exe". I know it started with systray because it was almost just like the one that I wanted to delete. Since that time most of my...
