Download and install HiJack This.  When you run it, it will scan your registry files related to browser startup processes.  From here you can disable any suspect processes.  You will need to use google to assist in telling you what is and is not a suspect process.  Once you have identified each in turn you can then proceed to delete them and eventually regain control of your pc.\n\nRegards EDD

you can restore your program.\nStart>Programs>Accessories> System tools>System restore\n\nRestore it to the previous hour of the deletion action. It will work because I experienced the same problem:)

They might be in your system restore therefore they return. Turn it off and delete any previous restore points then run the scan again, reboot and turn it back on. Do another scan to see if they have gone. Also run adaware and get rid of any spywear on your comp.\n\nHope this helps :o)

I just spent a week trying to get that off my parents computer.  I finally had to un-install symantec anti virus then reinstall and do live updates.  Also very helpful was Microsoft's anti-spyware beta, available on their home page.

Reinstall panicware into your computer,it will overwrite whatever files that are still there,if panicware comes with an uninstall,use that,if not go to your add and remove programs in your control panel and use that

Because your computer has been hi-jacked.  You most likely downloaded something  that is supposed to be free, like smileys or screen savers.  This allowed mal-ware, ad-ware, or spy-ware into your system.  It's almost impossible to get rid of once this happens.  You need to find a shredding program, that is about your only help.  Find a local comptuer Doctor and get an estimate on how much they will charge to fix the problem.  This happened to us and we never did get rid of it, it  sucks.\n\nI tried downloading all of the free spy-ware removal programs, none of them worked for us, hopefully one will work for you.

Try restarting your computer. It might just be that the program that was using it didn't close right. If you still can't delete it, try booting into safe mode (Press F8 while the computer is booting and then choose safe mode). Find the file and delete it from there and restart like normal and your problem should be fixed.

Remove it.\n\nIf you don't already have it, go get Spybot and AdAware both and run them.\n\nAlso, go get crapcleaner at www.ccleaner.com\n\nGood luck...

thats the number of spyware that was found on this Scan,you should get the option to quarantine . reboot your pc check your programs, if they all work open up file and delete if this causes problems use system restore. good luck (:>)))

I'd say that you have a number of spyware and/or viruses on your system.  If your computer can still manage to download these programs do so and install them (more instructions to follow):\n\nAVG Free Anti-Virus - http://free.grisoft.com/\nSpybot Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/\nAdaware SE - http://www.lavasoft.com/\nSpywareBlaster - http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/\nMS AntiSpyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\n\nOnce you have downloaded and installed all of those applications, reboot your computer into safe mode (don't start running the scanners yet).\n\nGo to Start > Run, type msconfig in the box and click OK, go to the BOOT.INI tab and select Safeboot and click OK, and let the computer restart.  You are now in Safemode which only loads essential drivers and services and prevents most spyware and viruses from loading enabling the scanners to detect them better (some viruses hide themselves while running).  Now it's your choice in what order to run them but I would start with AVG and go on down the list.  SpywareBlaster isn't so much of a scanner but just install it to keep spyware from getting on your system.  Delete anything and everything all the programs fine.  To get out of Safemode, follow the instructions above and uncheck safeboot, let the computer restart and hopefully everything should be back to normal.\n\nIf it isn't, you may have to consider reformatting your drive and reinstalling Windows using your restore CDs.

Try Microsoft Antispyware, available at Microsoft.com. Free download & it catches & removes everything. Very easy to use interface. Run a full scan right after you download it.

Uninstall then re-install it. That might help, and if not do a virus, spyware, adware, and anything else you can think of scan.

Hi. Sometimes the scans exaggerate a bit. Search for ' adaware se', ' spybot ', and ' avg free' . They seem to work well and also seem safe.

Hello, you might want to try this one. I've had very good luck getting rid of trojans, viruses, adware, spyware and other malware with this scanner. It's called Spybot Search & Destroy and it's well recommended. It works well with Adaware so you don't have to worry about compatibilty. I have both on my pc. Good luck and hope this does it for you.

oooh yah....computes do that...go to program files and remove the folder manually...just dont muck around in the program files too much.....if the files are hidden, open them anyway...I think AVG is the availsoft folder.just examine contents before you go erase happy
