well heres my problem: ive had my new laptop for about a month now, and when i first got it, i only enabled the windows xp firewall, figuring that would be enough to protect me from shit. but it wasnt and some really annoying spyware is sitting on my comp. it constantly pops up ads and shit and i cant get rid of it! ive tried adaware, spybot and norton antivirus (all with most recent updates) but nothing can get rid of it. anybody know of a way to find out which program is making all of these damn things? ive really had it up to here with this shit. |

||||||||

check what processes are running in the background kill the ones you are suspicious about |

ok i think i have an idea of which processes is causing it, but when i kill then in task manager they just come right back in a minute or so. anyone know anything about IwyV8.exe and CmwE349.exe? |

kill them all, exept for the ones you really need then, find a way to check what processes load on startup (use microsoft knowledge base - i dont know but theres a tool for it) uncheck phoney ones, reboot, do this untill the problem is gone ie., disabling 1 by 1 to check whats causing it. |

ya nailed it, shit now im found out. damn birthday cake bitches. |
||||||||

it checks the registry for all stuff like this and you can delete them manually. then if you adaware after that, and it doesn't work......then you're pretty much shit out of luck. |
||||||||
|

|
|
ill try that, thanks, although through my own registry snooping from what ive got going at the moment i seem to have solved the problem. its been about 15 minutes since reboot and no popups yet! |
||||||||
|

|
|
oh ok,..... well that program also works really good for hijacked home pages or any programs you dont want running, and all that stuff...... |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah i just found out one more of the proggies that i thought was gone wasnt, so i just killed that one as well. heres to a safe and spyware free compy now |
