then click Start >run >regedit {enter}

and navigate to

HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\rock a hula baby  and delete the entire key!

Then delete this folder C:\Program Files\aaascreensavers and reboot :)

Job done  !

Thanks for your many tips. Let me answer them from top to bottom: I'm not sure if it is the screensaver you mention, because I have never opened it. But it could be, as I do download or save screensavers or wallpapers every now and then. I did find and deleted tipb.exe but didn't find the other one. As to firewalls, I did download ZoneAlarm once, but I had problems with it, similar to the ones described as "negative comments" in Download.com. I did run both Adaware and Spybot, but they did not find/destroy it. I did not understand your comment about ROFL etc. Yes I get a "Cannot open install.log" when I go through "Add/Remove". I did go to Regedit as you described and found it. Out of the three name/types I was only able to delete two. This one cannot be deleted: Name_ab_default, type_REG_SZ. I did find and delete aaascreensavers cookie. I will now reboot and will come back to you shortly to tell you if the spyware is gone.

delete the entire rock a hula baby key from the left hand window

ROFL = rolling on the floor laughing :)

My friend you are a genius! It's gone from "Add/Remove". Many thanks. Should I still go back to regedit and delete the Hula Baby from the left hand window???

If its there yes :)And youll be clean as a whistle :)

OK I did.  But the right hand side file is still there after rebooting. I hope it doesn't make any difference.

Using Xp? or Windows ME ? disable System restore... then find and delete the key's and or program files. Upon reboot you should be clean, and can re-enable the System Restore feature if you like. I turn mine off always.

You're right. It was gone when I retyped "regedit" and went all over again. Thanks.
