    Hello, In: Step 2 : Use Windows Task Manager to Remove Win32.Agent Processes, -> Click on the "Image Name" button to search for "Win32.Agent" process by name. Sorry, but i cannot find this Button in my Windows XP Task Manager. Could you please tell me where to find this "Search-Button". Thanks, Martin.

    "Image Name" is the heading of process list under "Processes" in the task manager. You can click on it to sort the processes alphabetically.

    You have to be on the right Task Manager tab. In Vista it's the "Processes" tab. Don't remember what it's called in XP, but probably a similar name.
