I found YcheckH.dll.q_13244001_q file in "c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\SecTaskMan" along with 37 additional files including "c:\ProgramFiles\Yahoo!\GetYahoo\ENCWAR\Registry" along with registry modification files and folders modifying Yahoo! Companion and Internet Explorer. Not certain how much impact this has had on my system, but suspect this is part of the nightmare I've been trying to untangle in 3 home systems. Hacked and hacked again starting with aol and continuing with SBC Yahoo!.
