Matt, Bomba and some other fine fellows will be along to help you shortly. They helped me with same
problem a while back, but I know just enough to be dangerous (Solution involved changing file's
attributes so it's deletable.)

1) Remove the Fsg.exe in your registry. (At your own risk based on your ability)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

2) Remove the program folder in C:\\Windows\System

If you you can not delete it, change it's name first.

To really remove the program, you will need to remove whatever software that installed it.

Do you use Roger Wilco? That is a serious offender of the Trickler spyware.. Anything that carries
Gator Offer Companion is a bad thing. Kazaa? An older Divx player? Could be a number of software
apps dled from the net.

That's what I suggest trying first. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ is where to get it. It's free too.
