I got a spyware virus and no matter what I do I can't get rid of it. I have AVG virus and spyware protection and when I run them it states they are found and cleared. But the damn thing keeps popping up that there is spyware. Any suggestions?
See this thread http://gridironfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54456 I had the same issue and Wide Right was able to help! There is a link in there where you download a removal tool - worked great! :icon_cheesygrin:
Yeah, Wide Right helped me out to. Pointed me to a good site. I hope for your sake it's not the trojan.vundo that I had, that was horrible. What's it called?
Look where the file is when it's detected and delete it manually. It's most likely in your temp folder.
Turn off your system restore and then run avast in safe mode. See if that works. If not, run a hijackthis scan and go to that forum in the link N1 posted.
That's how WR helped me and it worked. Don't pay for an IT guy when you've got thousands on the internet willing to help!
:qft: Most problems can be fixed without taking your computer in. So long as you have internet access answers can be found. Trust me, run hijackthis and then go to that forum and you'll be clean and fixed shorty thereafter. I had vundo trojan and so did JJ which cripples your machine and they helped fix it. Don't get ripped off by Geek Squad. The internet is your friend.
I have Spyware Doctor and that worked for me when I had problems...I run it a couple/few times a month...
Another rule, if you have the internet... You don't have to pay for anything. :icon_wink: If you know how the cookie crumbles (ie. illegal downloads).
I did. You can do a search for it...I don't know if I am allowed to post this...is it spamming? If it is, I apologize...just trying to help a brother in need... PM me and I can give you a link or you can just Google it...
