hey guys this is my first post. anyways here are some important points:
1- adaware and spybot search and destroy search for different types of items, so it is good to run both, in addition to any other sopftware you may be running
2-modify your msconfig->startup items as described
***IMPORTANT STEP (THIS IS WHERE SOME HIDE SO YOU CANNOT REMOVE THEM WITHOUT DELETING ENTRIES MANUALLY)***
3-in regedit check this as a a lot of items can be started without actually being in the startup up section of msconfig
my computer->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Shared Tools->MSConfig and checK BOTH STARTUP AND STARTUPREG. remember to delete any folders created by spyware/adware unless you like them sitting on your system waiting to be run
4-get pop up blocker software as most items are distributed by simple and harmless looking pop ups
update and run your anti-virus/adware/spyware software once or twice a week and you should be good to go
i hope this helps and if any of you are looking for a graphic/scripting person be sure to hit me up.
