      If it’s this line of screensavers, the support page says you may have to do some manual removal. Is this it?

        To be honest l am not entirely sure.

        Also the url http://linkURL is invalid.

        Any suggestions as to what l can do to eradicate this program?

          Sorry ’bout that bad link. What about your Desktop Properties in the area of screensaver – what does it say is active? If you open Task Manager, does it show anything in Applications? When I Googled for “imaginationx” this screensaver line is about all I saw – several pages of ’em. I can’t say if there was anything “bad” throughout since I only checked a few of the hits.

            I think the best thing to do is to email there website.

          Have you looked in all the usual places for the command that starts this application (eg Start|Programs|Accessories|System Tools|System Information|Software Environment|StartUp Applications, and C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuProgramsStartup). If you don’t know the executable’s name, see if you can identify the application via Task Manager, then select it and right-click with the mouse and choose ‘Go to process’, which will tell you what the file’s real name is.
