I was browsing the internet + an application installed
its self in the backgroung without my noticing (some porn
thing - adult chat) The '.exe' file is in 'c:\windows'
but even when i try to delete it as an administrator it
says file is protected and cant be deleted. Any idea of
how to get rid of it????

go to start/run and type msconfig
then startup. See if the entry is there
and untick it. Or get a program called
search and destroy and use that. That
should detect it and remove it..

You can get it here...
