Hello,
My PC is infected with (Spyware) : 1) n-Case 2) DyFuCA.Internet Optimizer and several other Spyware. Virus on my PC include: 1) Trojan Horse = Dropper.Agent.4.AG and also several others. SpyBot detects the Spyware but cannot Remove it. Neither can Ad-Aware from Lavasoft and many other Anti-Spyware Softwares that I have installed (Including: Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta, Spyware Clean Micro, Spyware Guard, Hijack This, CW Shredder and several more.) All of these Softwares, I have to add are up-to-date. AVG detects the viruses and apparently removes them, but everytime I make a new scan it detects more and more. It does not end! AVG is also up-to-date. I have no cue what else I can do... The only thing I can think of is an online virus and spyware scan? Can u please advise me to some sites or other solutions? Thanks to the one who saves my PC from this absoulute invasion!
