Well, after months of a spyware free computer.. I got some nasty stuff. Only popups and slowing computer, but still...
Uses Iexplore(deleted a few .exes that were using it) to show popups.. default is ff..
Anyways I have used Adaware, AVG antispy, Spybot, and NOD32 antivirus. Anything but norton and mcaffee I will try(and anything free or cheap)
Any suggestions on a way to kill this pest?
Spyware, oh the joys. What will get rid of this pesky one?vincent
First, turn off system restore, viruses/spyware will hide itself in there so once you remove it, it will just restore itself. To turn off system restore, right click on your 'My Computer' icon, select 'Properties'. System Properties window will appear, select the 'System Restore' tab, check the box to turn off system restore here. It may take a few seconds for it to disable system restore so be patient.
Now go to www.ccleaner.com, download, install and run this to delete all temporary files on your computer.
Now that that is finished, download all the updates for your antivirus and antispyware programs. You can download trial versions of several good products to remove these infections and then just uninstall them once you are rid of the junk. In addition to your current list, I would suggest Spy Sweeper, Trend Micro antivirus, Trend Micro antispyware, Avast! antivirus, and Fprot antivirus.
