Default sneaky sexy download

I am new gnucleus user and couple days ago I also accidentally downloaded a porn site masquarding as a music file.

Hint for future action. Look at details of file while still in search folder results if you are using gnucleus. This might give you some hints. My download came as an rar. file and installed itself when I accidentally clicked on wrong action to decompress file with rar utility.

Ok, how I got rid of it... I am running Windows 2000 Pro and cable modem so no phone modem connect. that seemed crucial to controlling costs as program wanted to auto set-up a dial up account. Windows Add/Remove could not even "see" it. i could hardly deal with it using Windows utilities because it was linked to my ip dial-up config in Internet Explorer and was giving me error message " sharing violation". I could not remove the exe. program from my WINNT folder either with Norton. I have Norton Systemworks installed and I used the "clean sweep" utility to remove the program subfolder by subfolder from start menu\Programs\porn site\subfolder.

Finally the only portion of the program left on the desktop was the icon in my bar and I could not remove it using Norton.

I accidentally clicked on the icon in the menu bar and tried clicking on the config button. Since most of the folders were in the recycle bin I figured worst I would get is Windows error message "path not found". Was I surprised to see one of the config options was "uninstall" I clicked this and got a window "program will be uninstalled upon restart". Worked.

hope this helps.
