I have borken one of my rules and surfed the web as a web master. I have two additional user accouts. I have a valid lincense for Macromedia Dreamweaver Mx 2004.
Problem:- On the web master account, Dreamweaver, loads and shuts down.
- When I look at the processes that are running (CTRL + ALT + Del), I notice a Macromedia License.exe file. I find two versions when I search the disk.
- When I google: Macromedia License.exe I get the following hit:
license.exe on Spyware-Net
"Description of license.exe This is a component of Win Spy Software. .... Microsoft Outlook, Google Toolbar, Macromedia Flash, Microsoft DirectDraw Helper ...
Component Name: license.exe

"make sure the "Up okay License.exe" is deleted, if not, do it manually in safe mode".
No Problem: On one of the user accounts. Looking at the processes on that account does not show any such file, so it is a spyware.
This is my first infection in a year. Thought many of them had given up.
Question:
Any other WPW member that has experience with this malware? Should I clean the registers, too?
