I am flooded with adware and other problems
I have syphunter and spybot S&D. I ran sypbot and it removes all but several problems. I have used the scan at startup and in safe mode and can't remove seekseek or coolwwwsearch. I keep getting a message telling me they are memory and can't be removed until a startup scan with spybot. But it still tells me after the startup scan the same thing that they are memory. I scan with spyhunter and it states there are no programs in memory.
Also is there a good place to read up on treats and problems of this nature
Also I can't log onto my bank web site.
It comes up unavilable. The bank will not even talk to me about this. This worries me.
I miss the good olde DOS days... of 20 keystrokes to load my favorite program

Download and run CWShredder, which should get rid of CoolWebSearch. Also recommend you d/l, update, and run AdAware. Both free. Find on Google. About your bank, have you verified that your browser security is properly set?

I will try the software.

I have tried everythig to resolve the banking problem. From resetting all the security setting to downloading netscape brower. Its something to do with opening in a new window. And I knew the computer is the computer and not the bank server or dialp or ISP. I can't even load thier home page.

If you have cleared out all Internet Temp files, History files, cookies and still no luck.......suggest you disable the Spybot Immunize function temporarily(if you have used it -- it could be blocking the site?)Click "Undue".

Also beyond running the other 2 free utilities mentioned (they are good)might try running free online scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com

just as a 2nd opinion on bugs, etc.
