Norton sucks! it's makes your computer sluggish and updates itself every hour which is so annoying. Get Avast! the free edition really works well. Nothing really 100% removes spywares, adwares and malwares. Protection is the best thing to do. You may be able to remove some annoying virus, but it will come back soon ( will regenerate from registry files already in yor hd). Viruses are created by virus software sellers themselves. It will make fun of your PC and annoy you and then ask you to buy their anti-virus products. It will be so much better to back up your files and run system recovery (reformat your hd). this will totally erase your hd (including viruses) and re-install the windows by itself. This way, it will also bring back your computer to the same condition when you bought it.

Your first problem is that you are using Norton. Norton is an anti-virus program that has some limited ability to identify "bad files" on your pc but SUCKS when it comes to doing anything about it. Yahoo Anti-spy is setup to look for tracking cookies and therefore doesn't usually identify items from programs that are causing problems. You'll need to get something like Ad-aware or Spybot search and Destroy or better yet both. Go to www.download.com and look for them, update them and run scans.

lets get that out of ur pc ur some antivirus will miss key keylogger and trojans . frist of all you need to download avg antispyware this is verry good in getting all kinda bad files . then you need to download Adaware
a-squared< is verry good in picking up traking software files that is on the pc and it will find them . then download antispyware blocker that will find any type of virus . trojans files with antispyware blocker when you run that at the top of the box ur see
C:\ WINDOWS
remove the word windows and just leave in

C:\

then hit scan it will search all of the pc every file for virus or trojans and this will not have any problem with ur antivirus you have i have this my self .

then download spyware doctor that will search the pc for even more spyware adaware . just having 1 or 2 antispyware dont cut any ice at all you neeed what i said to download . when you have them run ur pc in safemode and scan the pc with then 1 at a time . this way from safemode the trojan and keylogger cant hide them self coz there is not internet access on in safe mode all the software i said to download will get the trojans and keylogger

if they say some are in the registry you watch what path there in and get in the registry and right hit on that folder and hit remove dont worry when the pc restart up win xp will creat a new clean folder for you

Answer 10

If you have WINDOWS XP, reset your computer back to a date when spyware wasn't a problem. its called ''system restore'' you'll find it under ''system tools'' in accessories from your start menu.
