Comment: I have a spyware or virus that I can't get rid of, can anyone help me out figure out. My IE keeps opening pop up windows about every 5 minutes with the IE address saying http://www.ad-w-a-r-e.com/callback_ron.php?GUID={A21F4661-16C4-11D9-89A8-0050BA18DA71}&country=CA&type= I ran AVG and used Microtrend's Online virus scan plus used Spybot S&D, I just can't get rid of it, according to AVG it says it is purged with IE and can't be cleaned.

Reply: (edit)I work at a local computer shop as a technician and we CONSTANTLY get in computers with varying symptoms, but most are caused solely by spyware infections. Run Lavasoft Adaware and Spybot S&D in Safe Mode with Networking. As the computer is booting up, press F8 and you'll be presented with a few options including Safe Mode with Networking. This will allow you to remove problems that you aren't able to in Normal Mode. Adaware - www.lavasoft.de Spybot S&D - www.safer-networking.org Make sure also, that they are current on their definitions files.
