1. in.exe and hot_canada not found by Guest. 2005-04-25 14:04:51
I am running windows 98 and Internet explorer 6.0.2800.1106. I updated Windows from the Microsoft yesterday.

I have seen a couple of sites which list the same steps as you do, but it never successfully removes the program. I can always find canada.exe in regedit and delete it, but as soon as I reconnect to the internet, the dialer is back.
Please help me.
