Copy down it's location , go in on Safe Mode and delete it , also delete it
from the Recycling Bin. It would be good to purge the System Restore , turn
off System Restore , it might be residing there too. Reboot. Turn the System
Restore back on. Jym

Glad that I could help. Keep virus programs updated and run Adaware
regularly for protection against further nasties. Jym

Run this free online virus scan , it is pretty good at finding and deleting
viruses . You need to do the System Restore last. Good Luck Rookie. Jym

Hi Gina,

Go to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options (click the View tab)and
uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide
protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself
out.

Then go to Start > Search > For Files or Folders option and type in
the name of the file: stobject.exe - highlight the file and press
Delete...make sure to empty your Recycle Bin.

Hope this helps
