Help Me Spyware
I've got a problem. These goddamn icons showed up on my desktop that say like "Poker" "card Games" "printer cartridges" "casino online" and "website hosting". Obvious spyware or adware whatever, but the problem is i cant get rid of them. Ad-aware didnt pick them up and it wont let me right click or drag them at all. When i tried to navigate via C:, documents and settings, my username, desktop, they just didnt even show up in the folder at all. These things are pissing me off, someone help me.

Did you try Spybot: S&D?

Re: Help Me Spyware
get at least a sample copy of this before you re-format, Spysweep...
fully functional demo version. It got things off for me other spy programs could not. I use only it now and my kid goes to some adware slingin' sites often... I have a copy of a very good big name anti-virus program and serial codes w/ excellant instructions to keep you updated and unbusted , but no way to get it to you....it also nails everything others could not.... http://www.webroot.com/downloads/?WR...a3ee26f9b838e2

Re: Help Me Spyware
The good thing about Spybot S & D is that it also has an immunize function that will help prevent the little bastards from getting into your PC to begin with. I've found that Ad-Aware generally does a better job at updating and locating the ad bugs, but having Spybot block 'em right off the bat means it's always better to use them both.

Re: Help Me Spyware
mmmm...there's one function I miss about Spybot is the registry cleaning functions....sometimes Spysweep has had problems with removal where I had to go in there myself and delete keys that were still causing problems somehow. Luckily it could identify and tell me the locations of them.
I had this shit on me once that everytime Spysweep or even Norton 2004 removed them , they were right back on and re-installed before I could even close the removal program out. I was racing them after awhile and laughing my ass off , can I click the window shut before they re-install and set the alarms off again ?....ha ha...we got them eventually , though...
