I just got infected with some evil spyware that keeps going to
Adaware and Spybot both did nothing against it.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: You might check out what I use in such an emergency: Google for something called 'Hijack This'. I have used 'Hijack This' a couple times and it works pretty well. You have to download it from the net and install it, then on your request, it puts up a list of your program files and their associated entries from the Windows Registry. On your command, it takes the files involved and pulls them out, then rebuilds your registry. Did Adaware or Spybot even find it (but then ignore it) or not find it at all? Even if you find and erase some of that stuff, if it is in the registry it may well come to life again after a reboot. So, let 'Hijack This' snatch it out of the registry totally.By the way, that program 'Hijack This' should not be used carelessly or casually. Truth be told, it scares the hell out of me. You can also use the Windows program 'regedit' (type that at a command prompt in DOS) if you know for certain what files you want and how to use it. You should _never_ get into the Windows registry without professional guidance as needed, and always be prepared for the worst when you do such an emergency procedure. You've been warned. Of course, a _real-man_ would know how to deal with the registry, and anyway, 'no one on the net (or so a _real-man_ would tell you), want any changes made on the Internet to eliminate the folks who write those spyware things' ... 'Its an anarchy, you know' they proudly proclaim as most of us struggle to keep up and running most days. PAT]
