It's also in the windows Registry so overt that up (Run... 'regedit') and look into for pipmon and delete adjectives the key that it finds. You'll own to also uncheck it from the startup enumerate "Run..'Msconfig.. startup tab). But until that time you do adjectives of that try this.. similar to you said the process reloads itself when you try to exterminate it. I in recent times found out of this command call taskkill.. Open up a dos prompt and type taskkill /F Pipmon.exe this will forcefully kill adjectives processes name pipmon.exe next you can progress ahead and start the delete process. This certainly worked for me but when I rebooted i must not enjoy cleaned it up suitable adequate as it some how reinstalled itself.. once i win home im gonna do a more thorough check. Hope this help
Hi,
I don't know what operating system you use. I am singular adapted near win98 and I use win98se.
I picked up this little bugger only this morning. My first infection ever.
It's self replicating and trying to stop it from loading at startup in sysconfig isn't going to work and you can't simply delete it, because it's running and you can't stop it from running --right
So.start your system in SAFEMODE by pressing the F8 push button while booting; step into 'find a report' , find the scallywag and you can delete it. I would in recent times type within pipmon, incentive it have a couple pal beside it, which I previously delete within regular mode.
Reboot and you should be adjectives set. I go into systemconfig
when I be done and it no longer showed near and clearly wasn't running.
Good Luck
