HELP!! I have TONS of spyware and stuff on my pc and spybot can't get rid of them cuz they're currently being used in my memory. Spybot then says it'll run it at restart next time if I want, and i click yes, but it never runs when I restart. How can i make it run at restart before everything loads like it used to do?
Sorry for bad english

Download/install BOTH Adaware SE & Spybot v1.3, go online & run the update programs. After that's done, sign off, disable system restore, & boot into safe mode. Run Spybot 1st, then follow up with Adaware.
Running a program such as RegCleaner would be a good idea as well.
Asus A7N8X-X
1800+ @8x210mhz
512mb PC3200
Ti4200/8X 128mb
WDC 60GB

Do all of the above, then go here:
http://www.webroot.com/downloads/
and download and install Spysweeper v3.2. This is the best program I have found to get rid of spyware. Then go here:
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html
and download and install Spyware Blaster.
Before running Spysweeper, do the following:
1. Turn off System Restore. Go to MyComputer>ContolPanel>System>System Restore Tab and check Turn Off System Restore. (Be sure to remember to turn System Restore back on after running Spysweeper.)
2. After downloading Spysweeper, be sure to Update Definitions.
3. Reboot into Safemode, and run Spysweeper.
4. After running Spysweeper, Spyware Blaster will go a long way in protecting your computer from becoming reinfested. However, be advised that Spyware Blaster will not fix spyware infestation; it is strictly for protection.
I hope this helps -- it has worked well for me.

thanks for the help... i got rid of SOME of the stuff. However, i got a serious problem still. I am getting constant restarts now and when I use spybot i find like 10 diff objects of something called Coolwebsearch and stuff... I downloaded a program called CWShredder which was supposed to be remove it, but it only got rid of like 1 of the files.
Among this, Aol instant messanger now crashes whenever i message someone. Im guessing its because of these spyware things cuz it just started happening when i get this stuff
further help>??

Please post back within 24 hours or I will delete the post from my follow up list. Thanks. It would be a courtesy if you would post back and let us know if the fix worked or not.

Did you download, install and run Spysweeper? I have never known any variant of CWS that could survive it.

Nevermind. I got spysweeper. However, apparently i still have CoolWWWSearch trojan/spyware on my PC. Spysweeper got rid of like 42 spyware, but i still have a TON of this coolwwwsearch spyware/trojan thing on my PC. Which i think is causing the problems.

I have Norton Antivirus too, i just cant get rid of this COOLWWWWSEARCH. It';s causing lots of problems for me
