I suppose I will have to do that then. Results of the confrontation will follow shortly. I appreciate all the help, this is a great forum.

thank yous for everyone...

In whatever mode the program runs, there is always it's file on your disk and there's always a way to remove it. First you have to find it in your processes and terminate it, and then you get to it's startup roots, to prevent it from starting up ever again. I never use any antivirus and delete every virus i get manually and never had any problems with any of them, but you got to know your computer quite good, so you know what's normal and what's not

I can't tell you how to delete your specific application cause you have to check in a few places, but it sure is run by a file that IS on your computer, and in one of the startup folders/registry/windows files.

Mssoldier, I will be sure to remember that if I face any such program ever again in the future.

I confronted my Dad and he said he'll remove it. I watched him do it just to be sure.

Well, problem solved, and all is well.

OK glad you got it sorted
