Can anyone tell me how to remove this from computer? Ad-Aware finds it and removes it but once computer is re-booted or shut down it shows up again...any help would be great

Thanks

I'm not an expert on this, so I did a little web research. Putting the first file "oleext.dll" into yahoo's search engine disclosed several things which may help you. You might try that. One of them was clever. The reason those files couldn't be deleted was that they were recognized as being in use. This person figured a way around that. It could be the cure for all those entires above.
