Re: ABC Scrabble, Webhancer, etc.

Can't tell what BOclean thought, but there was some more activity from Webhancer after I thought I had got rid of it, and BOclean pounced on the un-installer! (Remember, BOclean catches things as they execute)

Sunbelt Counterspy found more pieces of Webhancer, and quarantined them. Prior to this it was warning that there were attempts to play with the LSP stack, which I denied, of course. Most likely a CounterSpy scan would have dealt with it all. I am not about to deliberately re-infect myself to find out!

This shows that that there is more to the beast than the obvious files. It damned well restarts itself under other guises.

I do not believe that all of the information below is 100% correct, but it is worth a read.

(go to the 2nd? page, perhaps, and search for "webhancer")

This looks good, but I haven't tried it:
