Have you downloaded and tried


1. Spybot Search and Destroy from

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

You don’t HAVE to donate

2. Ad-Aware SE Personal from

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

3. Spyware Blaster from

http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

4. Microsoft Anti Spyware from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=321CD7A2-6A57-4C57-A8BD-DBF62EDA9671&displaylang=en

ALL these programs are FREE and must be tried before you post a HJT log! You may well find that they will remove most of what you have!!

Download them, immediately update their definition files and run them – SpywareBlaster does not need “running” like the others since it runs in the background to attempt to stop spy/mal/ad ware getting onto your PC.

Still, the eeeeeeeeevil SpyAxe managed to get through. But luckily I found a website that helped me get rid of it!

sheldon, also d/l

and run that before using those progs mentioned in response 1.
Most spyware is in your temp folders and that will delete them before running the others. (saves alot of time)
Then try this free
On-line Spyware Scan
and remove all it finds. You should be fine then.

An important point, make sure you have ALL your critical up-dates installed, because that is where the hackers and spyware attck first, if those are not installed.
A good firewall is also essential
Sygate Personal Firewall
works great

Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Just one note -- SpywareBlaster does not remove spyware, but it is great at helping prevent it.
