I agree, spyware is a huge problem at my job! :(

Then again, of those Pfizer Client Services idiots didn't insist on allowing EVERY SINGLE CLIENT to have local admin rights, the problem wouldn't be as rampant!

Well I used the symantec tool in safe mode, didn't work. Hijack this in safe mode wouldn't delete the registry keys, so i just added the urls the spyware would load for the popups to my hosts file resolving to 127.0.0.1, and they don't popup anymore. :D

So in reality, the spyware is still there in the system! :D

Give it a try then. It also has many other little tools in addition to the spyware scanner that lets you weed out spyware. Also use the Browser Restore feature.

I love it! The Advanced Tools are awesome.

[downhill]

Does it get rid of Winfixer?

Dunno how it got on but man what a pain.

[Zilog B]

Actually my computer died before I fixed it LOL. I'm so lazy when it comes to computers anymore, it's like I've lost all interest in working on them.
