help, i have a nasty spyware issue
 

so this thing pops up on my screen that says


of course i know it's a ------- add because it misspelled "danger"

now it won't let me run my task manager and i have no clue on how to start XP in safe mode

anyone got any suggestions on how i get rid of this irritation?

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
 

yeah, i have spybot, when i tried to use it, everything froze. ill give it another shot

Re: help, i have a nasty spyware issue
 

did you try it in safe mode?

Re: help, i have a nasty spyware issue
 

microsoft ani-spyware took care of alot of my problems that ad-aware and spybot wouldnt, google

Re: help, i have a nasty spyware issue
 

is it just a grey form with a 'ok' button on it? if so its windows messenger and you just need to disable it in msconfig.
if its spyware, d/l stopzilla nothing gets past it.

---- that..
right click save target as:
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe

download it to desktop.. run it.. click scan only.. scan.. wait for it to finish.. click config.. check the box that says mark everything to be fixed after scan.. click ok.. close everything.. rerun it.. click scan only.. let it scan.. wait for it to finish.. everything will be checked.. click fix all checked..

and ur done..

a number of people on here including dustin can vouch for this...

lookup hitman pro

it has all the top spyware destroying software in one program. and it does all the work for you, meaning you only have to click one button

Stop looking at porn sites with Viruses.

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.
