Most of the trial programs are not worth keeping and some give the
impression of problems that do not exist. The RBot Worm does seem real as MS
Antispyware points to the registry entry for it. Each time it seems to be
deleted but is back at the next scan. Before I changed the boot.ini file to
dual boot I just used to change the BIOS setting to boot from the other HD.
That had the effect of changing the second drive letter to C from E.
