Get rid of adware/spyware |
|
|
Ok...at some point last week something was downloaded on my computer and now
we have pop-ups that I can't seem to get rid of. I use XP, I have the
Windows security running, Google pop-up blocker, Microsoft Anti-Spyware
running, McAfee Virus Scan, Lavasoft AdAware SE, and Spy-bot (latest
version). I've used all of these today, gotten rid of what they have found
and I still have this crap on my machine. So I ask, NOW WHAT?!?!?! Please
let me know. Thanks, Mike J. |

I suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

Also make sure you run all those scans in SAFE mode.

Dave, I didn't find the program you recommended helpful. Fitz, I have a
wireless keyboardand I am hoping I don' have to hunt for the wired one. I
can't seem to get to safe mode. I have a Dell and F2 in setup but after I
get there the conputer doesn't recognize my keyboard

I'm having the same problem. No matter what I try to do I can't get rid of
this evil, obnocious, presence called "YourSiteBar". Windows XP is too weak
to remove it in add/remove.

Please start a new thread and not hijack another's thread.
When you create that new thread, please state what software (with versions) you have used

How unfriendly you are! I wasn't highjacking a thread. It was my very first
post in a Windows forum. I was only going on to give my experience with this
problem. I have just as much right as a Microsoft customer as you to post
here. Are you the chief of poice of posters?

Anyway, while you were figuring out a way to put me down, I solved the
problem on my own without any help here.

No -- But I am one guy who is willing and able to help you. Copping an attitude won't help.
You know the expression, "don't bite the hand that feeds you." Your experience is NOT the
same as Mike Jamison. You did not even reply to him but someone else trying to help Mike.
If this is your first time posting then take the advice, learn from it, follow it becuase
you did hijack someone else's thread, Mike Jamison. If YOU have a problem then create your
own post about YOUR problem and you will find I or someone will be willing to assist you.
Think of it this way, how friendly will your reception be if there are 10 peple already in
line and cut in front of them into second place ?
