I'm using Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware. All I have left to remove
are registry items and I don't want to crash my system by removing them all
at once. Now I'm getting a message about WJView, can't execute main every
time I boot the computer. I don't even know what this file? is and I don't
know how to get rid of the thing.
