I just ran 'CWShredder' and came up with this:

CWS.Qttasks
Variant 21: CWS.Qttasks
Approx date first sighted: November 23, 2003
Symptoms: IE pages being changed to start-space.com
Cleverness: 2/10
Manual removal difficulty: Involves some Registry editing
Mimicking the legit 'QuickTime Task' autorun entry in the Registry (which is in the HKLM hive), this variant loaded at startup and changed only the Start Page to start-space.com


My IE Start Page does not load up to: start-space.com
So do I have a problem? Does anybody know how to get rid of this? It doesn't tell me how to edit the Registry, it just tells me that's how to get rid of it...I run CWShredder every night before I shut the computer down, and tonight is the first time it has come up...

I just did a Search for this file, and it came back with nothing found...I looked for it in Explorer, and nothing was found there either...

I have Windows XP SP2...Can I get rid of this by doing a System Restore to yesterday, or the day before that?
