Default Re: Macromedia problem.

Be aware that the more sophisticated spyware apps install rootkits which can survive a reinstall of the operating system. If the program is replicating after a reinstall of Dreamweaver, it is possible that such a rootkit is present. I believe the free version of Avast antivirus has a utility to scan for rootkits, and runs this scan by default after the initial installation.
