IMHO it is quite strange that you didn't use any third-party file managers (like Total Commander or FAR Manager) to check for this file. FAR Manager is quite poweful, it even has it's own process lister and registry editing plugin.

When we discussed this with my colleagues later, we agreed that those people just don't understand that actually it's much more cheaper to have a bunch of low-paid students from India or exUSSR countries working as live support (graveyard shifts due to time difference), than to create some pseudo-AI-bot-whatever-system...
