I found 2 'prefetch' items: C:\Windows\prefetch\bw2.com-
########.pf, and ...\prefetch\bw2.com-########.pf, where
(it appears) "########" is a memory location. I just
updated MS AntiSW and ran it, with clear results. Neither
Spybot S&D, nor AdAwareSE_Personal found it either.

A Google search shows that BW2.com "Launches/installs
other applications that serve ads.", per
www.popupsentry.com.

I've deleted these entries; is there anything else I
should do?
 
If you have no infection then just clear the prefetch
folder and temp files but it may be worth you running
Trends online scanner as ive seen it pick up problems
that most removers miss.

goto start run and type

prefetch

delete the contents of this folder

Also clear your temp files and recycle bin

goto start and run and type

%temp%

delete the contents of this folder(or at least all the
things that are not in use,you can shut programs down in
the system tray if you wish to remove all the contents)

Then open a internet window and goto tools on the top
bar,then to Internet Options on the page that opens
press 'delete cookies' and 'delete files' include all
offline content when deleting files and finally clear the
recycle bin.


Then run a scan with Trends spyware scanner and also
maybe Trend's Virus scan to be sure your system is clean


Trend Micro's Spyware Scanner

Trend Micro's Housecall Virus Scan

http://housecall.antivirus.com/


Ive not looked up any info on this filename but the above
should clear the problem,Let me know if you have any
problems though or anything the scanners pick up and i'd
help more if i can.
