It probably has something about it that is persistant - or
it morphs into a slightly different version or something.
This is not good though - that it is so persistant.
make sure he looks in zone alarm to see if it is related to
a program. if you highlight backweb, and look below, it may
tell you.
I'd run some more anti-spyware programs too - maybe even
panda online scan.

Thanks Cris,
It seemed that I remembered it as bad. It is persistent on
my uncle's
computer, everytime it tries to come in even after we
checked to remember to
deny it. I thought once you told zone alarm to remember to
deny it, you
would not have a problem after that.
