Whenever I run my spybot program, it reports 1 object it
can never remove. That is:
0190 Dialer c:\windows\sysupd.exe
Is this something I should leave alone? What is it? And
if I should remove it, how given that spybot can't seem
to fix it? Thanks

It is probably in your System Restore and that is why Spy-
Bot cannot delete it. Turn off System Restore, run Spy-
Bot,(UPDATE Spybot before you run it) delete the file and
then set a new Restore Date - name it something you will
remember id (post dialer remover)

Google "sysupd.exe" and you'll find manual removal instructions from
www.pchell.com.

Or you can boot to safe mode, run Spybot, make sure that Spybot is
up-to-date, and then remove this bug. Although I am puzzled. Spybot can
remove a lot of pesky malware by running again after you reboot. Did
Spybot offer to run after a reboot to remove more stuff and if so, did
you let Spybot do this immediately when it asked?

if spybiot can't remove it it will ask for a reboot then it removes it after logon
