Hi all,

I'm using Norton's 2005 and it says that it has found 2 files
named mediaticketsinstaller.ocx and plorer~1.exe and when
doing a file search showing all files, hidden and otherwise
I don't see these file names on my comuter.

I've used spysweeper and adaware 6 and removed a bunch
of stuff but these 2 are still showing up.

Any ideas on how to "find" these and get them deleted for
once and for all?

Thanks,
Jim

I'm not heard of those, but you might see if BHO Demon can help. It's worked with me in finding hidden files like this, but I think they have to be Browser Helper Objects (BHO).

Thanks for the idea. It's weird that Norton's shows a file name and then
file search can't find it.
