@Francisco: I think you can uninstall UnHackMe from the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel.

I followed Roger Karlsson's advice and used the Unhackme Uninstall feature that they had supplied. The program (apparently) was attempting to do an "update" by seizing the machine and stopping whatever I was doing, shutting down the programs running, and then doing some upload. then it would automatically attempt to re-start, but would fail to restart. I would then have to manually shut down and attempt to restart. that would fail. then Microsoft would ask to open in safe mode; then it would attempt system repair, that would not succeed, and then it would go through a big exercise to restore the system to an earlier point - before Unhackme did its "update." this nonsense would go on once a day, like a grinding routine, cost me my open tabs, and knock my machine out for about 45 minutes. Now, I have finally uninstalled Unhackme. Maybe, just maybe, this hassle will end. Who knows? Only the great computer guru in the sky. And he isn't telling. AARGH!

Partizan is usefull when you have Greatis producy to use it.

In case of infection causing failure to lunch a security program, and have RegRun Platinum installed, you know you only have to hit the reset buton of your computer to run a scan at each and every boot.

If you don't use it anymore, run this reg key and the system will not atempt to run Partizan anymore.

In Windows regedit you must read autocheck autochk * as value of Bootexecute key after the run of this .reg file (to reset as system default):

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"BootExecute"=hex(7):61,75,74,6f,63,68,65,63,6b,20,61,75,74,6f,63,68,6b,20,2a,\
