I downloaded the PestPatrol software and located the malware file but now the program is telling me that I have to purchase the licensed version to be able to quarantine of delete the file. I really don't want to spend the $40 to get this problem fixed..
.is there any way that I can delete or quarantine it for free? I know it sounds like I am cheap but I had just purchased a copy of the "revered" Norton Internet Security just to find that it is not protecting me from the 6 odd trojans that have been found
. If I sound bitter, it's because I am now. Until now, I just ASSumed that Norton knew about every virus and trojan known to man but you can now see where that got me...Thanks, Kim

You don't have to buy the software. Especially when you can use
ad-aware and spybot which are free to do your routine scans for
malware.

To get rid of this specific malware, you can do it yourself, manually,
if you follow the instructions of this page:
http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/w..._installer.asp

You only have to delete some registry keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{1d6711c8-7154-40bb-8380-3dea45b69cbf}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\webp2pinstaller.installer
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\webp2pinstaller.installer.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\code store database\distribution
units\{1d6711c8-7154-40bb-8380-3dea45b69cbf}

Make a copy of it before you start (Start Run regedit File
Export) and create a restore point for added safety.

Good luck
