This 'valued' piece of software keeps reinstalling itself on my system. None of the spyware checkers I use even know its there. How do I kill it?
thanks

Open your control panel and pick ADD/REMOVE Programs and uninstalling it. Then, you should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs. These two programs will RIP IT OUT for good.

Try “SpyBot S&D” for that. I had the same problem with “180 Search Assistant”. I used to manually delete the files from the system by stopping processes. But the “SpyBot S&D” will do the trick for you. It’s free to use and you can get it from the following link.

I would definetely try on ad-aware. Download, install, update the definitions file and perform a full system scan. Some antivirus can also remove this kind of software but they are not really effective.

I've removed that program from many people's computers. People REALLY need to be careful what they install. And when they install, they need to make sure they read everything just in case something like 180SA is an additional piece of software that can easily be averted by simply unchecking a box during installtion of online programs.

hi, perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus and protect your PC. but you need to pay for the software
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

I went around the block and around and around, trying to do the
same thing - - no luck so far.
I'll also be looking for a response.
