Problems With Spyware
Do anyone know how to remove spyware from the PC? When I woke up this morning there were shitloads of shit on my computer. 12 pages of shit. I've tried Ad-aware, Microsoft Antispyware, Search & Destroy, Spybot and Kapersky, but they're not working. It's coming commercials from IE all the time and a yellow triangle with a ! in it down in the right corner. Can anyone help?

Re: Problems With Spyware
Do you have antivirus program installed? Run that first, it can be virus which cause those pop ups.
Start using Mozilla Firefox. Internet Explorer is spyware/virus magnet and therefor sucks.
Run disk cleanup to remove temporary internet files and other useless shit. Also, go to your Windows/Temp directory, and delete all files from there.

Re: Problems With Spyware
I've run antivirus programs and no virus are found. I'm using Opera, but I had to use IE just go to visit a site to bet on football and stuff. That site doesn't work in Opera. I'll run the disk cleanup and remove the temp files. Thank youBanaani wrote:Do you have antivirus program installed? Run that first, it can be virus which cause those pop ups.

Re: Problems With Spyware
Get this program Ewido install and update the definitions. Then re-boot into safe mode and scan the whole computer. It should work. If it doesn't, go to this board http://boards.cexx.org/viewforum.php?f=1 they'll help you out.

Download http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html. Install, run it. Examine the log http://www.hijackthis.de/en. With the results maybe you'll find the malware yourself. Otherwise submit your log in some forum like http://forum.hijackthis.de or http://forums.spywareinfo.com

Re: Problems With Spyware
If it's that far gone that all the ad removal programs can't touch it, and HijackThis fails, go the Format man.
My family's computer got like that, in the end I just gave up, backed up important files and reformatted. In the end the time it takes to do that is a lot better than blowing blood vessels everytime some new goddamn ad pops up!
good luck
