Fuckin' spyware....
Reply
Posted 2005-04-24, 03:13 PM
I downloaded a crack for a program a few days ago and it was a spyware program. IT automatically installed itself before I could cancel it. I have ran Ad-aware about 5 time, Hijack this once, and a trojan scanner. Each time it just comes back again. It's mainly just random annoying internet explorer popups advertising for shit. I use Mozilla by the way so it seems wierd that its using IE. Any suggestions or programs that will take care of it?

Twenty-eight days... six hours... forty-two minutes... twelve seconds. That, is when the world will end.

Hmm.. are you using the last updated files for ad-aware and all the other programs? another idea might be to shut off your internet access, run ad-aware, reboot, run it again immeditly, reboot again, and run it again. that should get rid of it without allowing it to re-install itself. Other than that, I'm not too sure. Maybe spybot search and destroy might get it?
