Hit ctrl-alt-del and kill the datadaterect.exe in the task manager. Go to the C:\Program Files\64CORN~1\ and delete the datadaterect.exe file. Create a new blank text file, name it datadaterect.exe (make sure it is named datadaterect.exe and not datadaterect.exe.txt - you might have to turn off the "Hide File Extentions of Known File Types" option in Explorer by going to Tools\Folder Options\View tab.) Then, right click on the blank datadaterect.exe file and make it read only. Restart the computer. Should work.
did it, ran the spybot check and now the file is completely gone after i deleted it. Looks like its gone.
Now i'm too sick of my computer to look at the screen.
. thanks for the help
