    Win Min

    I have this weird problem when I shut down my PC.
    A program called "Win Min" needs to be shutdown.

    i have also noticed that the homepage for IE appears to be hijacked (although this isn't too much of a problem as I currently use FF)

    Any ideas how to get this off? I have used Adaware, Spy doctor etc with no luck

    Cheers!

    Have a look at this post: https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?p=1988064

    Also have a look for Win Min in the registry under the following keys:

    HKLM\Software\Mcrosoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
    HKCU\Software\Mcrosoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

    If you are using Windows XP, you should run MSConfig instead and look for the program under the Startup Tab.

    No joy I'm afraid. This Win Min seems to be a resilient ****
    I couldn't find anything in the registry relating to it and am getting a bit concerned.

    Have you checked which BHO's are loaded into Internet Explorer. You may also find SysInternals Process Explorer helpful as it will tell you exactly which processes are running and the files which they are using.
