It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

Hi,\n\nUse Spybot Search & Destroy for spyware, you can get this here:\nhttp://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html\n\nUse AdAware for adware, you can get this here:\nhttp://www.adawareresource.com/co/adawareresource/?sid=M2AG0001eGS\n\nHTH

Here you have some free programs. For spyware I recommend AdAware.\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/

download adaware it scans and removes spyware from your computer

Ok here's what you do:\n\n1)  Download SpyBot Search & Destroy, AdAware, and Spy Sweeper (search on the net, first 2 are free and you can get the third as a trial version)\n2)  Download a personal firewall like ZoneAlarm or Kerio if you don't already have one installed.  Run it.\n3)  Run scans with all 3 of the programs I mentioned first.  This will clear your computer of all the spyware and adware you might have.  \n\nThe firewall will protect you from a good deal of malicious things on the net, but not all.  To ensure your computer stays clean, keep updated versions of SpyBot and AdAware and scan about once a week.  \n\nThis should fix your problems.  Spy Sweeper is a one-time thing, as the trial expires after 30 days, but it can detect a couple of things that SpyBot and AdAware can't.

Would suggest doing a search for a program called "Adaware" which is a free spyware removal tool.\n\nAlso look into downloading the newest version of Yahoo! Companion toolbar with the Pop-up blocker AND Anti-Spy spyware search feature.\n\nLook into purchasing a virus scan program that detects spyware (most of them do now a days) and also you'll want a firewall if you do a lot of online searching and shopping, this stops a lot of spyware.\n\nAlso look into downloading the Mozilla Firefox web browser. It's an amazing alternative to Internet Explorer. Firefox is faster, safer, and has loads of more features built right in INCLUDING spyware protection and pop-up blocking.\n\n\nSimply put, if's it's not a spyware problem. The Yahoo Companion toolbar catches 95% of them for me, and that would the simplest solution. But you may already be using that as your pop-up blocker.

Batman, now u really gotta believe me, i have a trojan attack before, called SpyAxe, its really irritating, i cant remove it through the "Add/Remove" program on my computer. everytime i reboot, the SpyAxe comes back again. TRUST ME, DO NOT use another program, like the other answerers here said, to delete it. delete it manually, even if it takes a lot of time, like having to reboot to safemode n all that. yes it does work for some of these anti-spyware programs, BUT why am i stopping you, why? coz SpyAxe actually claims to be such an anti-spyware program, but it actually attached a trojan horse virus with it, that causes SpyAxe to appear each time we reboot our com. some pple couldnt stand it n decided to pay SpyAxe to remove the trojan. its all a scam from Spyaxe. to know more abt this spyaxe, u can search in Yahoo. i also found out how to remove the trojan manually through a search done in Yahoo, which brought me to a forum page(pls click on link below) where many others also caught this SpyAxe problem. the forum also states many other computer problems.\n\nin the 1st place, the reason i chose to delete this SPyAxe manually is becoz i needed to pay the other programs to delete the trojan. its really ridiculous rite? n u know what, wad i'm gonna say next is true, i read this from the forum page submitted by real pple.. this guy actually couldn't stand seeing the Spyaxe after rebooting his com everytime, so he download another anti-spyware program to get rid of the trojan, since he knows that SpyAxe is the one who actually attached the trojan with itself so pple who click on SpyAxe's advertisement n scan their PCs for free will get the trojan infection(whereby the scan results will show that u haf many viruses on your PC, which is not true). then they will ask u to download SpyAxe(there is a fee for using Spyaxe) to remove the trojan for you. then this guy, he downloaded other program, n PAID them, but it didnt work. he was so pissed off, he couldnt stand it, he actually decided to pay SpyAxe to remove e trojan for him!! n here comes the WORSE part... SpyAxe is not an anti-spyware prgm at all! e guy called the no. to look for SpyAxe management team, n the number actually was to a flower shop!! i didnt know whether to laugh or to cry when i saw this in the forum. tt's y i would really advise u to del e trojan manually urself, rather than download some other program to remove it. u will never know what u are downloading.\n\ni deleted it manually and it really did work, i didnt even need to spend a cent. even better, if your PC has a 'system recovery' program, u can juz restore it to an earlier time, a time before the trojan infected your PC. i know ACER computers have this program, n some other brands too. Mine is an ACER laptop, but too bad i didnt set a restore date so i couldn't use this program to help me. if your PC has this program too, do set a restore date where everything in your PC is working fine. you'll thank your lucky stars when you really need to use this program. \n\nBatman, REALLY< BELIEVE ME OK? i spent so much time typing this answer! good luck to you!! do check out the link, there are forums abt other PC problems, forums are best coz those are the pple who have the same problem n they have solved it using their ways, always finish reading every message in the forum, coz some might say this particular way works, but some say no. u haf to read through the whole thing to get the best solution.\n\nHope to hear from u how u removed the trojan, i noe how irritating it can be. do email me at yuni_chan88@yahoo.com.sg ok? thanks! =]

goto www.download.com\nget a copy of Spybot, spyware blaster and Hijackthis.\ngoto a hijack this forum and read how to post.\nPut hijackthis into its own folder in c:&#92;programs\nrun it and post the log in the forum...\nDO NOT DELETE ANYTHING until the forum have replied!! As you can do serious damage!! They usually reply within 48 hours!!\n\nA Hijack attempt is just that there was an attempt to redirect your browser to another website!! If you made your home page www.yahoo.co.uk  this program tries to change it to www.xxx.com or when you search for something directs you to other pages!!

I recommend u to buy either Webroot Spysweeper or PC tools' Spyware Doctor. Each of them will give u its worth in gold. I would be more inclined toward Webroot Spysweeper 5.2 as it now contains a built in antivirus along with its spyware destruction utilities

All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!
