Cruiser Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 click here - Editted - Bad mood - Doing a little more than linking 'click here' would be nice... --------- Running Adaware and Spybot S&D in safe mode would be the first thing to try. One or both will most likely be able to remove it. Links are in the How to protect your computer sticky. To boot to safe mode, press and hold F8 before the windows loading screen appears, select an option to load (any will do if you install Adaware and Spybot before hand) and run the scans once you log in. Posting a hijack this log to look over would be useful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Links are in the How to protect your computer sticky. I thought finding 2 links in a sticky was easy. :? Adaware's download page. Spybot's download page. Install both, reboot to safe mode (instructions from other reply), log into the admin account displayed, and run scans with *both* Adaware and Spybot. Removing what they come up with is generally a good idea. Both perform backups of things they remove so you can restore them if needed, but it shouldn't be needed. Just forget the hijack this log for now. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexrider1234 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Have you scanned with Lavasoft Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy? Also make sure you have updated both programs, and try doing an immunize in spybot search & destroy. RSN: dbferrariLevel: 109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
