Ok this seems a tricky little begger to get rid of. Why? Because it comes under many differnt guises.

Mine was called wmplayer and looked like a windows media file. However when i clicked it it wouldnt play which made me realise what it was.

So follow TURBODIESEL's instructions on the previous page but instead of the scvhost look for wmplayer. Dont worry it isn't your actual WMplayer.

Or simply....

Go have a look in the regestry under HKEY LOCAL MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MICROSOFT - WINDOWS - CURRENT VERSION - RUN

Then to the right you will see wmplayer. Look across under the DATA column it will read p2pnetworking. Delete this little blighter.

Go to task manager and under PROCESSES look for a process named wmplayer. End the process.

Next go to My Comp - C: - Docs and Settings - All users - Start Menu - Programs - Start

Look for the wmplayer and delete. Its a fake program, and no the real Media player.

This should solve the problem.

If none of this makes sense then sorry but it took me 6 hours to solve this and it is now 2am.
