AdWare Help Needed Thank You

One of our computers recently contracted some adware. Several tools including norton anti-virus and ad/spyware removers, analyzing runtime processes, searching the registry- nothing works.

This crap acts by spamming us with pop-up adds and requests to install programs at high velocity.

 

which ones.....i'd suggest ad-aware and spybot...both, the best available & both freebies

also did you run "hijackThis", another freebie, to get a snapshot of what the culprit might be....i'd suggest that, then post the results here and someone may be familiar with the germs you have

 

I agree ... try using Ad-Aware and Spybot, and if those don't work, try Hijack This.

I'd also recommend, in the way of virus software, AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. It works just as good as Norton or McAfee, but it's free.

 

maybe problem is similar with mine some time ago. check this thread

yea no programs work
but 5 minutes ago I disabled the messenger service
and nothing has popped up yet
thank you for the tips

 

Hehe ... righty-o.

Just to let you know ... the messenger service isn't really adware or anything added to your computer. It just lets text ads be displayed on your computer; it's not technically adware.

We'd probably have been more help knowing this, but I'm glad you got it figured out. Good luck, friend!

 

well the crap is still popping up
going to try more stuff

 

ahh
I think I finally found the registry entry that's been haunting me
hijack this rules
we will see if anything pops up now
