Since a time in my PC appears advertising that i dont want . Sometimes
without be connected in internet and in the toolbar tasks appears an
icon (that is a sign of ?) that i never can clear and say that my pc
is infected and then i click in this icon and send me to a page of
( antivirus spylocked. Appear a sign of warning too that indicate the
same and make the same.
In my screen sometimes appears windows like windows xp or security
center os windows XP indicated hat i have to download a software
antivirus program. Some friends had tell me that this windows are
false and that i have Spyware and/or Adware. And i have LAVASOFT ad-
aware but it dont make some productive ¿WHAT CAN I DO?

Sandramile,

Forget the Lavasoft app that gives out false positives

Spybot (awesome & totally FREE):

http://www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html

If you cannot update via the update facility then download them diectly from
here:

Detection Updates (18th April):

http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates...d_includes.exe

Tools Update (12th Jan):

http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates...otsd_tools.exe

Advanced Check Library (19th Jan):

http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates...d_advcheck.exe

Now, scan your machine & delete all that are red

The chances are you have some rogue processes but will need to know which
are running in order to find out if they are suspicious

Newbie,

Rather than bad mouth a good product (with only your opinion), it is
always advisable to use more than one program when removing
adware/malware. The combination of Ad-Aware and Spybot is more
effective than using just one. I have frequently found items using
Ad-Aware that Spybot did not catch, and not just cookies.

Terry,

There is a website which lists many of the spyware... programs & that was
listed of having false positives. So, that page was built up from MVP &
people who really know what they are talking about. So, find that site & see
for yourself.

You are finding things with that product because it gives false positives.
it says it have found something that doesn't exist. Whoopie!! It finds
tracking cookies (doubleclick.net...) which don't really matter anyway. Get
your facts straight Terry please

If you knew how to use Spybot properly then you'd clean a lot more than you
would if you use a standard scan with it. I am so fed up of talking people
through cleaning their system that I may write a page that shows how to do
it properly

Besides all this: some adware application are just fronts to install adware
on the machine too

Why don't you give the link to the site?

RA,

I cannot find it now. I got it from another newsgroup a while back

If I knew the direct link I would have posted it earlier

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

So now you're moving on to attacking me. POWERFUL thing to do over the
internet. I doubt you talk that strongly in front of people, they
probably would pop you up side the head.

If you were half a support person, you'd provide the links to back up
your statements. Telling me to find it is, well, weak at best. And
stating that "it was made by an MVP". WoW. I don't need anyone to tell
me how a program works.

You again didn't read my post, because I specifically stated NOT
cookies. I have my facts straight newbie. Please interpret a little
better. ANYONE knows that you should use more than one program when
cleaning a system. If you only use Spybot, you're missing things.

I've been using Spybot since it came out, and have been quite aware of
it's shortcomings. I even contributed to it. How about you? Are you
going to try an enlighten me on how to use it? Don't waste your time.

If you're so "fed up of talking people through cleaning their system",
why are you here?

Don't get all pissy because someone calls you on the carpet when you
make an error. Be an adult and move on.

I don't think it is possible for him to be an adult, 'cause he isn't one.
His maturity level appears to be stuck at age14, if that.
He demonstrated his total ignorance and lack of credibility when he attacked
Malke a week or so ago. Hers is probably the site he can't remember the
link to.

Terry,

Yes, I beta test for Spybot (since 1.2) & have also contributed to it too
with translation or new definitions or bugs found, but one thing that lets
Spybot down is its support staff because they sometimes take 3 weeks to
answer any message to them

Another thing I have done is create a number of applications to work with
Spybot which aid its use

One bug still not fixed in the application is it doesn't get rid of all
strains of C2.LOP

Look. I am extremely busy until later & don't have time now to finish this
reply but in around 10 hours time I will

See you

PA Bear,

Why do you link people to that site for HiJackThis when you should be
pointing them to the developer's site?

Are you an official mirror, no. So, you should ask them if you could be

Here's the link from the developers site:

http://www.merijn.org/programs.php#hijackthis

See? Your site isn't listed
