McAfee has it but it won't let me delete it. I have cleared all cookies(I
think) and cleared system restore. Its still there. How can I find it and
how do I get rid of it?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

FYI Bill,

Deleting any cookies you have will only affect the experience you have at
websites. It will not delete other files or free them up so an antivirus
program can remove them.

That was the problem. McAfee wouldn't let it install but it wouldn't let me
delete either. I couldn't find where it was residing and thought it may have
been in the cookies. Wintrim was hideing under Wincomp, thats why I couldn't
find it. Thanks for all the help.
