Spyware

[Bobdrakke]

I'm trying to help my friend get rid of some spyware on his computer and we tried to use ad-aware, spybot, cwshredder, and hijackthis.

 

nothing shows up when you run a search.

 

the symptoms are recieve =0 transmitt = 100 on status connectioon

 

the conection drops betwenn 5 - 20 mins randomly and redirects to adult sights.

 

anything else we could try before refomat?

What browser are you using? As a temporary fix, you should get Firefox (I doubt this problem is happening with it). Do a virus scan.

he is using ie on xp home edition sp2

 

ran virus scan with AVG nothing came up. I will try to recommend fire fox as temp solution but i feel reformat is inevitable.

You got some of the new nasty stuff at a guess, it works its way into windows system files and all kinds of crap.

Pain in the ass.
