Several items from a adware called Solutions180 have gotten in my computer. Tried Norton, Adaware and Trend Micro to rid myself of the problem. They all detect the problem, but none have been able to delete the spyware. Also tried running Norton in safe mode. No luck. Any suggestions???
I recently ran a scandisc and a window popped up that said " 171802624 bytes in hidden files". What are hidden files and is that amount of bytes normal?

when you are notified of the spyware. Where is it or they located? There should be a path given to where it is.
You may give stinger a shot....it may find it. Post back on the path and the name of the spyware and it gives us a better idea on how to remove it.
You also didn't say what OS you are using....eg: 98se, me,xp,etc That helps too
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
