This is the email I got today...
I'm no big expert about that file...

Sort of. It finally quit popping up. It is still on the HDD. I guess after I hit it with dellater it gave up. Beats me.

In all seriousness, this file seems to be spreading slowly around the world. {see here if you can read Dutch}


Pathfinder, did you try the latest Version of Spybot? Version 1.3 add lots of stuff, that Version 1.2 didn't have. Spybot does tend to find more things than Adaware. It's just that in rare occasions some of the registry entries it finds are needed by computer, and aren't spyware.

Uh...oops, sorry guys. Guess I didn't do such a good job in that department did I?

Yeah, I have 1.3. It worked pretty good BUT didn't get rid of siae3123. That file just gave up its annoying habits. It is still there but not popping up anymore. It stopped after I tried a file/app called dellater.
