It appears to be the Winfixer trojan, but after I uninstall Symantec I am undecided on whether to go with AVG or AOL Kapersky. I do think the AOL branded Kapersky has a better scanning engine, but I have yet to try it on any of my personal PCs, so 'testing' it on a client's PC is not what I had in mind. As TechHead mentioned, the AOL part of the name bugs me ... if the somewhat tech savvy guy gets the PC back and sees this AOL stuff on his PC, he may write me off as a no-talent hack for using such 'kiddie' software. Decisions, decisions ...

Link your "savvy" guy to this indepent and well-respected antivirus review: http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/default.asp?id=82&mnu=82

Pay special attention to #1 & #2 w/ an identical score.

Thanks for the link man.

It is intended to replace the existing versions that people have been using for a couple of years now.
