~ SPYWARE?????





Now you have spyware... good job.

Lets try to salvage whats loss and fix it.



System Restore


One of the many
features that Microsoft included with Windows XP that is actually useful!
So, when you know you did something stupid or your computer did the stupid
thing on its own, run system restore and restore to the most recent point.
Start->Programs->Accessories->System
Tools-> System Restore
. Click restore
my computer to an earlier point, hit next, choose the date, let the computer restart
itself and eventually work again. Note: System restore fixes .exe .dll and some
other files that were changed between that point and now. Your pictures,
documents, media are not restored or touched... so if it’s a fun spyware that
screwed it up, it wont fix it.




ADaware
Somewhere on this site you will find a download
link http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ even
if you don't think you have spyware its always good to scan occasionaly. I like
it... its free can't beat that.






Spybot Search and
Destroyhttp://beam.to/spybotsd It has a nice scanning
and spyware removal features that sometimes work better than Adaware... so try
both if you have stubborn spyware.




Hijackthis
Some people don't really like it, I find it very
useful.http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
Run it, scan, look at the list. What you don't understand go >_<.Okay, im
not that cruel lol. Seriously its nice to scan when you don't have a
problem, that way you know what won't belong on the list. A lot of times you
can just scan, check off the things that don't belong and have it
"fix" it. After you restart if it comes back, google it. If you got
the spyware there is at least a few other people out there who got the same
thing...
Caution: Hijackthis can be very powerful, so be sure to research
things BEFORE you delete it. You can easily end up making things not start up
properly after you delete it.



AIM Fix and IE Fix Two utilities I read about
here is AIM Fix, a fixer for those stupid AIM viruses and IE fix a set
everything back to default fix for Internet Exploder. I have never tried these
programs. http://jayloden.com/software.htm




The BEST thing to do is AVOID the spyware.
Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
I seriously dont know WHY so many people don't
like it. If you don't, thats okay... Perhaps you like
Opera http://www.opera.com/
Some people just like Opera, I don't really like
it but its now add free and as close to freeware as you get.

And if you like IE, some antiviruses will stop
some... Firewalls can't really help because spyware comes in as regular web
data... like opening soompi.

Spyware Blaster http://www.spywareblaster.org/downloads.html
is good at blocking out spyware and preventing them from installing.


guard http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
looks like a very good simple anti-spyware utility, but I have not tried it and
I don't intend to try it by going to a spyware infested site to test it. Looks
very similar to Spyware Blaster, its actually from the same company but they
are both free, why not try them.






Google Toolbar http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/index.html I
recomend the use of Google Toolbar for blocking popups. I have this installed
but don't use it much anymore because I prefer Firefox. Either way, it adds a
nice and useful google box to your IE and blocks out popups. If you have those
Anti-Spyware utilities running, it might be bring up a red flag as a BHO
(browser helper object) except its okay because this type of software was the original
intent of Browser Helper Objects... not Browser Objects that direct you to an
advertisement site.



IE-Spyads
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm
also recomended by floppy. Will help try to stop spyware from installing for
those dedicated IE users. Also, take a look at http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=768776
it is called the "Rampant Paranoia" thread. You can follow that and
even make your prescious IE spyware resistant.The last thing I want to add that
most people don't often think about is Windows Updates. Windows is FULL of bugs
and known exploits. Did you know a computer connected to the internet with
Windows XP or Windows 2000 freshly installed will be full of viruses within a
few hours? You dont even need to touch your mouse or keyboard, the viruses will
do it for you.
I think thats it,
anyone that can do better do it

Winfixer
There are so many people that seem to be getting
this that I think its worth my time editing this.http://www.spyware-removal-guideline.com/winfixer-removal

similar but looks more logical look at post #2.
http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?t=194625
Both essentially does the same thing. They both
use Vundo and involve removing the entries from the startup, then the program
finishes off the spyware in safemode.

I recomend this guide http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/How-to-remo...rib-t91765.html
Winfixer http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=81771
Super Anti Spyware New Addition to this list! http://superantispyware.com/
seems to be the new favorite in spyware and adware removal. :] definitely worth
a shot!



Malwarebytes
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-...4-10804572.html

More options http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/09/10/sa...y-from-malware/
My current favorite anti spyware program. Works
well for a lot of spyware issues.
