    not too difficult to clean up.  
    
    1. shut down the program (gone.scr) from task manager
    2. dir \gone*.* /s (it dumps itself in a variety of places: 
       \windows\system, \winnt\system, \temp, \winnt\profiles
       but one tricky place is that it dumps itself into the \winnt\system32
    dir
       with the system, hidden and read-only bits set so make sure to do a 
          attrib go*.* in that dir and make sure it isn't there.  if it is,
       attrib -h -s -r gon*.* and then delete them
    3. delete the key in the registry, it's in 
       HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\gone.scr
    4. reboot and if you dug it out of all of its hiding places, you
    shouldn't see it running.
