spyware

Hello, How do I remove spyware strike from my computer . Thanks Zackary

A little more information will help.

  • What OS are you using? is it up to date?
  • What avast! version and VPS file (virus database) number, e.g. 0436-4 (see about avast!)
  • What was the filename, where was it found
    example (C:\windows\system32\infected-filename.xxx)?
  • What actions have you taken to try and resolve the problem?

If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it.

  1. Ad-Aware
  2. Spybot Search and Destroy
  3. Spywareblaster Don’t install this until you are clean.
  4. Ewido Security Suite If using winXP. or a-Squared free if using win98/ME.

:slight_smile: Hi Zackary :

 You have the latest SPYWARE infection; IF you would like an
 Expert to guide you through the removal "process", I suggest
 you seek help on the "PC Protection" forum on the forums at
 www.freedomlist.com . The Experts there are VERY EXPERIENCED
 in guiding people through the removal process; they will also
 see if you have anything else that needs removal and/or
"modification" .

Hi lance369,

Do you by the way have the latest ITunes installed? Tthe bonjour version was a stinker (they deleted it soon afterwards).you can do without, so update. Don’t know if that is it, but check it anyway!?!
If not, we have the best expert here on the forum Noadfear, he has the latest version to eliminate this spyware for you, no sweat, asl him in a PM.
