SecurityTango.com will show you how to clean your computer.

What browser do you use? And have you tried Spybot?

Alternatively: system reboot.

I fucking hate spyware.

keep away from the gay asian porn.... tsk, tsk.

A bunch of free programs to help fix the problem and prevent it in the future - Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Avast (anti-virus software that a friend *swears* by... says it caught things Norton missed)

First thing, disconnect from the net.
Second thing, stop using IE. Opera or Firefox will not let half the shit come in.

Then go into 'add/remove software' and kill the shit you can find.

Smart Popup blocker, adaware & spybot are your friends. Get them and use them.


If you have the capability, make a new user and grant it admin properties, take off admin properties on the account you usually use. Without admin permissions, many things can't install. Like crap you don't want.

And you wonder why I loathe Windoze...

Have you been updating them religiously? They seem to come out with new items every week.

Also, if you have a legit Windoze, the microslave site has it's own anti-spyware thing that's pretty good (They just boought up someone so it's better than the crap they do in house)

And the blocker will hell keep the propogation down.

Do you run all your net through a server or just a router? All this should be happening on the server machine as well (If you have one)

Unhook the box from the net and run all the warez killers. Some of them propogate from a net connection. If you aren't on, you can keep killing until they're gone. Once those devils get on it's hell removing them.

I hope you aren't using weatherbug or smilies or any of that tripe, cause you know... that's where the things get in...

;)

AHHAHA! colour me shocked... NOT!

But you do know that's where the shit's coming in... right?

a little vexed are we?

Yeah, that's infuriating...the programs listed above should help.

I tested out the different spyware programs at the computers in the lab, and honestly the best one, and one of the few free ones to provide active protection against spyware is Microsoft's free Antispyware (they bought it from another company. You can download it at http://www.microsoft.com/spyware
Since installing it, the two dozen computers in my lab have yet to have a spyware issue.

Channeling Jim, does not help in this type of situation...
