All I know is that you have a PC had you given a bit more information it would be easier, But If you are using Windows XP Download Windows Live OneCare It's free for 90 day's And it's an all purpose and very extensive bit of buisness which will allow you to back your system DVD/CD. If it dose no good it won't do any harm as it's a genuine Microsoft product. just uninstall it again through Ad or Remove Programs. Have you tried System Restore that might do it (try that first.) I hoe you don't have to Format the drive that's soul distroying. All The Best.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, many adware/spyware infestations have figured out how to beat a lot of anti-spyware utilities.

I suggest going to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ and asking for help. A trained volunteer will take you step-by-step through clearing out the malware, using a free tool called HijackThis. Won't cost you a thing, and I've found that using HijackThis is sometimes to only way to get rid of some spyware short of reformatting and starting from scratch.

Answer 4

Try downloading anti-spyware, anti-adware programs. most of the good ones will not only stop new stuff from coming into your computer but will also detects stuff that is already there and delete it. Try Avast, Spybot, or Webroot to name a few. You have to be cautious though, because some spyware and adware poses as anti-spyware (malware, for example).

Trojan is a broad term used for class of viruses. You need to know the name as detected by your antivirus program. Then you have to search for its manual removal instructions, or removal tools if available.

AdAware SE Setup:

2. Select the "tweak" option. Under "scanning engine," make sure "unload recognized processes and modules during scan" is enabled. Enable "scan registry for all users instead of current users."

3. Under "cleaning engine" turn on "always try to unload modulesâ€Â¦," "during removal unload explorer and IE if necessary," "let windows remove files in use at next restart," and "delete quarantined items after restoring."

4. Use the "select drives and folders to scan" option to ensure that your entire hard drive is scanned (if you have more than one hard drive, scan all of them (of course, do not include floppy and CD/DVD).

To do this you need to hold down or repeatedly tap the F8 key while the computer is booting (when the computer is displaying a black screen with white text). When the boot menu appears, use your keyboard arrows to select "Safe Mode."

Safe Mode can look quite ugly. The color may look bad, and all of your desktop icons will be very large. This is normal.



START THE SCAN WITH YOUR PROGRAM(S).



When the scan and removal are completed REBOOT COMPUTER. This will restart you in normal mode.

It works by resetting the winsock catalogue. Click on Start, then Run and type CMD in the box. Click OK. Type "netsh winsock reset" (no quotes)into the DOS window that appears.
