I just got that Night Raptor link today. Normally I never install anything from a website, but I got it from a sysadmin friend of mine! I'm now removing all entries in the registry for instances of PSD, buddylinks, and channelup

I fvcker got on my comp. I uninstalled the program and that didn't work. I used the uninstall program from the site and that didn't work. I uninstalled AIM, that WILL work, but then I lack AIM. I'm still searching for parts of the bastard...

Good move, PSD was where it was hiding. It's toast now.

this thing is seriously messing up my friends pc. She cant click on the start menu, cannot open most applications and cannot access many websites. buddylinks.net is down and i did find any of the aforementioned suspicious files..... What can I do?
