Re: help, i have a nasty spyware issue
i think while it starts up you have to press F8 when its in doss mode, right before it starts to load XP. you should get SpyBot and Ad Aware. i used to have really bed spyware probs and those 2 really helped. I also got microsoft ani-spyware too.

Re: help, i have a nasty spyware issue
i use avi anti virus, its like mcaffee but seems to do a better job of preventing ---- from getting on your machine,and its free. also be carefull with hijack this because it just gives you a list of ---- that it thinks may be harmful, so you can potentially delete something important.
i like to use adaware for spyware ---- but sometimes it doesn;t get rid of everything.
