  2. Download HijackThis from the above link and extract it to c:\hijackthis.

  3. Print out these instructions.

  4. Close Internet Explorer and keep it closed throughout the entire removal process.

  5. Navigate to the c:\hijackthis directory and double-click on HijackThis

  6. When the program starts, double-click on the HijackThis icon and then click on the Scan button.

  7. Put a checkmark next to the following entries if they exist:


    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Media Access] C:\Program Files\Media Access\MediaAccK.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Media Access] C:\Program Files\Media Access\MediaAcess.exe
  8. Then click the Fix button.
