Spyware

Hi John

Try these two links

Sometimes Adaware doesn't pick everything up. I use Adaware with Spybot which is fairly comprehensive but had some problems recently which were only picked up by Bulletproof.

Good luck.

and if you got infected with the spyware while logged in under a different username, try logging in with all usernames and run ad-aware in all the profiles...

You probably have whats known as adaware.istbar
Search that at norton you there are some things to uninstall and the remove registry keys.

see www.parents-overflow.com , Higjackers, and Spyware . I have dedicated my website to this issue.

Personally, I don't feel like spending a load of cash to take care of spyware. I use the combination between Ad Aware 6 and Spybot, it has always done the trick. Don't pay for spyware removal programs unless you really have to (which is very unusual).

alternating between Spybot Search & Destroy and AdAware 6, both updated will remove almost everything. You may need to turn off "System Restore" to remove it permanently. (My computer\Properties\System Restore) and check the box "Turn Off System Restore".
Comment Spybot Search & Destroy version 1.3 is out now and found thing 1.2 didn't.

The program I use is called Bazooka adaware/spyware scanner. It is free ware and you can download it at http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/ make sure you check for updates before scannning for problems. I use this because it looks for both spyware and ad aware.

Hi there

You definitely have spyware on your Pc,if you could tell me what page it changes to,but also you can try the latest program for removing adware which is (go to this website) www.webroot.com and download spy sweeper under the section "TRY IT",install the program and then try.

cheers

I have recently had some problems with pop-ups and spyware. I have found that SpySweeper cleaned these out for me - Note that SpySweeper is not freeware. But they update it a lot and with programs like Spybot, they don't clean out all the traces of the spyware - so it comes back pretty quick. I found SpySweeper does a better job of this.
