My 'Spybot' doesn't even dent this thing. It leaches to essential processes so I can't delete it manually and when I try deleting in Safe Mode, I can't get it all and the @$#! thing replicates itself. Is there any way to kill this pest w/o spending $100 on software...?

Manual burning?

Dunno if this'll help...

There's some advice here:
help with pib.exe and tbps.exe

and

_this_thread_ also walks you thru deleting them...

Delete the registry entries, then the programme.

"Delete the registry entries, then the programme."

EUREKA....! Can't wait to get home...wasted Hours on this yesterday (attacking the programme first....Doh!).

<font color=skyblue>You always have System Restore to fall back on when nothing else works...if you have XP, I guess. </font>

You can also kill the process by using the Task Manager and then delete it...

adaware is also another free programme that often kills what spy-bot doesn't. I use them both.

Sounds like he may have tried this already. *points to first post referring to unable to delete...*
