Whether the Trojan forked up Ad Aware,

Very possible.

I don't run AdAware these days but it always used to be good.

I just use a disk imaging program these days and keep regular backups of the OS.  It takes 5 minutes to do both of my boot partitions and 10 minutes to recover from a completely hosed OS back to a known good image that is clean and fully operational.

I use this one I don't even have it installed on my machine I just use the CD I made with it to create and restore the backups.

I can't remember the last time I even bothered messing around with the system files or registry I'll just go back an image or two if things get messed up.

I could, but I can't be arsed.

As everyone has always suspected. We're a couple of guys who can't be arseds.
