Whilst I can't help on what may have caused the issue, I can assure you that any AS download is perfectly safe. It's not possible for a zip (correct me if i'm wrong, please) to install anything automatically anyway.
Stewart- have you tried the Microsoft AntiSpyware program? I found it to be quite good.

Have you tried "Crap Cleaner"? Theres also that utility that scans your registry for dubious entries.. cant remember its name.
Most likely this esellerate thing is a dll. If you can locate it then thats probbaly most of the way to solving the problem. If its already been called then you usually cant delete it as the file will be in use, but I think windows does allow you to rename it. When you restart windows, whatever is calling it wont be able to find it and then you'll be able to delete it. Thats what I did to the last piece of crummy adware that got installed on my machine.

Here it is
http://www.ccleaner.com/
Caution it will, if not carefu,l clear out remembered password etc.
There is a tick box page to select what you want cleaned or not.
I use it a lot.....very useful especially clearing out old links and bits which can try to call back deleted files at times.

Garry, yeah I already mentioned that one, this was something else, much simpler... its output is a "dump" which the usual practice is to post on some geek forum and usually someone comes forward with the solution... might not be that helpful anymore... I use Mozilla products and have done so almost since they came out so I really dont have much of a problem anymore

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the advice. Indeed I have tried Ccleaner, and about 3 or 4 spyware removers, including a payware
one (which for a Scotsman really hurts!!) Have also run Hijack this and nothing in the log looks suspicious.
Still getting the same message and I have been back and forward through every folder in the sim and cannot for the
life of me find any reference to esellerate.
However, as part of my warranty, the PC is due a health check etc within the next 3 weeks, so I guess I will tote it down
to the local PC world and have them give the system a good zapping.
Many thanks again, it's much appreciated.
Cheers
Stewart
