I found a cool hijacker remover a while ago, google webroot and you will find it. This thing gets rid of jackers that nothing else detects and you have to format. They also make a really good spyware prog called Spysweeper. And it also kicks ass, it found a ton of stuff that Ad_aware and spybot missed Exclamation


I second SpySweeper.  I got it two days ago, and it's really awesome, and does pick things up that others miss.

I doubt this plague can be stopped. The only thing your congress can do is make it illigal in the US, and then the creators move to others parts of the world.

it is quite pathetic, actually, that we have to deal with all this rubbish  Sad

anyhow, i use zonealarm pro & norton antivirus pro; & also run spybot search and destroy once a week to weed out any buggers that slithered past the wall.

good luck  Very Happy
