I have a number of anti spyware/adware programs, but none of them can find the spyware '180solutions'.
I know this is on my computer as the program 'SpyCatcher' prevents it from running, but cannot find it.
Any suggestions?

There is only one user created on the computer for which the password is forgotten. There is no "admin" user created. It is not a networked PC. Help!

I have the worst pop ups, I think I have spyware and all kinds of problems. It makes my computer run slow. I tried Spybot search and destroy and that sucked. I need my computer for school and I can't have keep freezing up and stupid pop ups. If I have to look at one more naked chick doing a dog I am going to scream!!!

My darling daughter went to a website that dumped a ton of junk onto my laptop from work I had home for the day. My anti virus and spy ware caught most of it, but there is still something lurking. I'm getting pop ups all of the time. Nothing offensive, just annoying. How can I identify the program lurking to delete it? Is it in my registry? Any ideas, short of reformatting my hard drive?

Does anyone know how to set up a password at the Windows XP startup screen that you can't cancel and get past?

I need to be able to set up a student computer where the students can't use it unless I get them into it first. I don't want them accessing the desptop and messing around with it when I am not here.

Most detailed and most useful answer gets the ten points!

Thanks!
