Gods... So much going on at the moment.
And I'll write about it later.

One thing I really need help with. For the first time ever, I seem to have aquired some form of ad or spyware on my comp. Yay. I'm looking to see if I can loacate the invader now. But I figure this means I might should get a spy/adware killer.
Advice on which one to get, and should I get one?

Found several folders... Trying to kill now. Bloody crap. Some of the won't delete.

EDIT: No new programs please, It's under control.

Thankees!
I'ma gonna use Dusty's for now, but I'll try the other if this doesn't work.
Ye gods, I never had random pop-ups like that before. Buttmunc adware companies.

Actually, I will use Adaware, since spybot doesn't cover adware junk.
Many thanks for the help Mer.

i'm going to go buy webroot spy sweeper... it costs about $30 i think... but i ran adaware and spybot... then i downloaded the trial of webroot... and webroot caught things that adaware and spybot both missed, and they had been fully updated.

so i recommend webroot spy sweeper even though it's not free.

Mmm.
I'll stay with the free stuff to begin, but thanks.

Get Ad-Aware and Spybot, they both catch things that the other won't and they both still won't catch them all! Proud user of Spyware and Ad-Aware since '86!
