Listed programs have been carefully tested by the 2-spyware.com research center and successfully passed our strict tests.

Such review also includes program screenshots, information about its price, implemented features, performance and general effectiveness. We rate tested programs by giving marks from 1 to 100. The higher mark a spyware remover gets the more effective it is. Please carefully read each review, pay attention to the rating mark a program got and read comments published by other visitors. This will help you to make a wise choice and compare your current anti-spyware program with other modern solutions on the market.

Trojans can be dangerous and hard to get rid of. Try Ewido AntiMalware speciallizing in trojans. If that doesnt work try AVG Free AntiVirus or AntiVir. Also try Adaware SE Personal and Spybot Search and Destroy. If none work try it in safe mode generally by tapping the F8 key when you first start to boot up your computer. (it could be F5).
Good luck!
