-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Can't get rid of 'ShowBehind'

Wow, Jan, have you got it covered or what????(Big grin).  It sounds like 
Speed it Up may have brought in your problem.  Might try uninstalling it 
then run your cleaners and see if that works.  Also, from what I read, it 
may not be spyware.  It may be a trojan or something similar masquerading as 
"Show Behind".
