I know I'm being tracked. I've checked virtually all of my .exe's .dll's and don't know how they are doing it. Can you help?

"I know I'm being tracked." Really, why is that? If you have some evidence, that is the best means of finding how anyone would be tracking you. This is sort of like coming to the police and saying,"I'm being followed! I know it - heres the places I've been, the calls I've made, etc." All that still gives the police absolutely nothing to go on.

Just to say you are being spied on, without evidence or manifestations of some kind, is not much to go on. www.wilders.org and http://www.spychecker.com/software/antispy.html has some excellent links to many FREE products that will assist you in actually determining if in fact you have been targeted. Start with scanning for: ADWARE, malware, trojans, data-mining cookies and key-loggers.

How exactly do you know you are being tracked? Knowing this might help with the method.

Hi AndreaJ, Your HijackThis logfile is clean :-) Mark
