Ultra Defragger

[viperbyte]

How can I get rid of Ultra Defragger? I just discovered it on my development PC this morning. As I poked around to find a way to get rid of it; i hear much about downloading and using either malware or CClean. Is this the only way? I don't want to do that and would rather start all over with the emegency boot disk. Anyone know of a way to get rid of this crap?

I'd go with Malware

Hey Dglienna, how you doin man? I spent the whole day on restoring my system with the reboot disk. The restore itself didn't take all day, but burning CDs with all my files and testing to make sure they can be copied from back to disk and reinstalling office and you get the idea. Took ALL day. I just finally got outlook back online and I'm still not finished. Still have to copy from the CDs back to disk then finally reinstall VS. What a painful wasteful day. I'll take a look at Malware on a spare computer for the next fiasco. Ultra Defragger seems to be gone but I'm suspicious that it may be hiding in the recovery partition and waiting for some event or time to show up again. I hope that doesn't happen; but we'll see. So thanks for the Malware suggestion and I'll take a look at that.

My philosophy is "format c:" and start from scratch. Yeah, it's a pain (especially if you have a lot of drivers to re-install), but in the end it's the cleanest way.
