find where it installs itself, then go to that folder or the place in the registry and delete it (regedit)\n\nI dont recommend it\n\nIt'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

Go into the control panel.  There should be, depending on what your control panel is set to, some link to add/remove programs.  Go through that and remove anything you don't want.\n\nAlso, it's probably a good idea to install and run an anti spyware program.  I always like Spybot Search & Destroy:\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/

Generally you should consider using more than one tool.   They should be well known and easily available.\n\nSpybot Search & Destroy, and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware product are two of the most popular tools.  They're both available at www.download.com.\n\nI would also recommend another product on that site, called CCleaner.  It helps you clean up your registry.\n\nOne last thing, there's a local website with a forum, www.johnmanzo.tv that provides free tech help from average computer guys like me.   We just help folks with their basic troubles, similar to your spyware problem.\n\nNote:  Avoid the advertisements for *any* spyware-removal product that charges you a free or offers a free scan.  There are many of these types of programs out there that are useless.\n\nGood luck.

Add CCleaner and use it to clear both the system and registry.\nThen check for spyware using AdAware and Spybot S&D to catch ALL the spyware. One doesn't catch all.\nThen run a free ROOTKIT detector. This is different from the other solutions.\nIf you have a rootkit, you need a professional to remove it.

errr ... you need to be more specific ...\n\n\nTry using and running Adaware. This should find and delete any spyware/adware on your computer. (it's free)\n\nhttp://www.download.com/ad-aware-se-pers...\n\nAlso, get an anti-virus programme on your computer. A very good free one is avg antivirus\n\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/\n\nAlso, to help clean out any unwanted useless files, you can download ccleaner (crap cleaner) - it's also free.\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/\n\nI use all three of them, and I think they all work brilliantly, never had any problems with any of them.

Yes, here are a couple free programs to get rid of your spyware. Do a full system scan and then remove the items the program finds.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Spyware-Center/2001-2023_4-0.html?tag=dir

You got adware Download adware removal from http://www.download.com

Some adware programs are easy to remove. You can get rid of those by clicking start>control panel>add/remove programs and removing the program from the list there. Provided that you know the name of the adware program.\n\nIf you don't know the name you still have some options left open to you.\n\nFirst thing to do, download and install the the programs listed here. Don't run the scan after you install them.\n\nEwido (link to the download listed below\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/download/\n\nAdaware SE\nhttp://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html\n\nCrap Cleaner (funny name I know, but it works)\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp\n\nWhen all 3 are installed, restart you computer in safe mode.\nTo do this.... Restart the computer, as soon as the logo screen disappears begin tapping, very quickly, the F8 key on your keyboard. You will eventually you will be taken to the Windows advanced start up options screen. Use the arrow key to select safe mode, press enter. Press enter again. Log on to your account. When your desktop loads you will get a pop up (don't worry windows did this, it's ok.) click yes on the pop up.\n\nNow that you are at  your desktop run Ewido, then run Adaware, then run Crap Cleaner. This should take care of most types of infection. Once the scans complete (which may take several hours) you can restart the computer and uninstall the programs.\n\nYou should now be free of the adware.\n\nRules to remember,\n1. Don't install something just because your at a website and the install screen pops up.\n2. Know what your installing.\n3. Read the TOA, if your installing adware (like Gain) it will tell you that it is "supported by advertising" that means that it will cause ads to pop up on your screen.

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.
