Got it almost all gone now, that shit is sick.

I don't get the shit on my laptop or desktop. I take it off all the time on customers machines though. Usually it is off within an hour. Do virus scans and spyware with 2 programs, more if it doesn't solve the problems. -
What was the most time you've spent not asking stupid questions on GFY?

3 days about a week ago. cost me alot of money in lost time.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.Comment

like anything else, with time and experience you will know where to look and how to get ride of it.
be careful with some of that software that tells you it will get ride of spyware/addware, it installs its own then asks for money to get ride of it.Comment

Two days was the longest for me as well. The shit would download almost as much as I deleted during scanning. Starting up in safe mode seemed to work the best for me, that only took about 10 min to get rid of it all.Comment

Spybot works nice, it was a huge help.. Some things it does not delete though, like registry filesComment

Took a couple of days for me a year or two ago. I'm a bit more capable now and havent had too many problems. Using firefox also might have something to do with it.Comment

Ive got several hours into a clients computer right behind me as I type this (most of the time waiting for scans to complete etc.).
It probably has another good day of me fucking around with it in my spare time to get things straight.

Just once had the misfortune of getting something installed where popups and other nonsense started raping my computer. It would actually block installation of adaware and other killers. Took a day, but it was never totally fixed. Bought a new system, and I keep that one as a database computer offline.
Edit: It all started when I clicked on a link a gfy'er had posted on this board lolComment

spyware is just an undocumented feature, we did not charge you for it.Comment

Get the holy trinity of Spybot S&D, AdAware SE and HijackThis. I run all three once a week and the box is humming along now.

i hate spyware it cost me 2-3 days to clean up all the virus in my pc.Comment

Half an hour (doing the research), the rest of the time scanning my pc I did not count.Comment

The first time was on my cousins pc. it took about a day and a half to get rid of everything.
Now that I know how they hook themselves into the system it takes about a half hour. Which includes running spybot, manually removing browser helpers and active x controls that installed and running system restore to put back all my home/search page links.
My personal PC's have only been infected once in the last year, so not much practice recently, lol.Comment

I'm gonna disable spyware forever
