Check out this very well written article titled Spyware/AdWare/Malware FAQ and Removal Guide.
For those that are reading impared, here is roughly what you do:
- Run Spybot/AdAware/Microsoft's/whatever. Do at least two different, well known spyware programs. Try a free online virus scan too, which can catch other things.
- Restart your computer. Still got crap? Restart into safe mode, and do the above step again in safe mode.
- Restart your computer. Still got crap? Use Hijack This, and check out this Hijack This Log Parser. Actually read that text on that page, so you understand how it formats its output. Its not hard.
- Restart your computer into safe mode, and do what the parser said to remove. You need to do this in safe mode for it to work.
- Restart your computer again. Still have crap? Then, and only then, post your Hijack This log here or some other site. And please, post it into a [code] or [quote] box, so its easier to look at and read over.
READ THE GUIDE, PLEASE!
It has almost everything covered. |
