I have ad-ware 6.0 and everytime I run it, it finds something and I delete it. How do I get ride of this fucking thing?

HS-Trixxxia · 10-16-2003, 12:35 AM

Before running Adaware - update it

Yep, just got it and ran it, rebooted and still fuxored.

SpaceAce · 10-16-2003, 12:55 AM

Open a command prompt and type 'regedit'.

Look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run and delete anything you don't recognize or list things here and people can tell you what's what. Do the same for HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run

Download Spyware remover , maybe it will help. Did you also do a virus check on your PC? Maybe it's a new worm or something ...

Yanks_Todd · 10-16-2003, 12:55 AM

I have to use a combination of adware 6.0 and spy-bot search and destroy to handle that pesky stealthware. But even that doesn't work with some of the "great new stuff" they are coming out with.

Them

kmanrox · 10-16-2003, 12:58 AM

spybot is what i use, its free and has gotten rave reviews...

FreeHugeMovies · 10-16-2003, 01:10 AM

I just installed spybot and rebooted. Still got the damn thing. Time to take space dogs advice.

Abyss_Vee · 10-16-2003, 01:26 AM

FreeHugeMovies · 10-19-2003, 07:12 PM

Sorry SpaceAce. Can you msg me on ICQ so I don't delete anything I need in the registry?

PersianKitty · 10-19-2003, 07:15 PM

Take a peek at the page I put online to help visitors at http://www.pk.com/spyware.html

Specifically it might be helpful for you to download HijackThis and run it.

FreeHugeMovies · 10-19-2003, 07:23 PM

Thanks PK I'll try and keep you posted.

grumpy · 10-19-2003, 08:41 PM

check you autoexec.bat , might be something in there.

KMR Stitch · 10-19-2003, 08:57 PM

There is a new virus/spywear program out...

Its just like the mime exploit with active-x

It will make you download a .hta file when you restart it will make your cpu its bitch..

Aim profile = owned
homepage = owned
Fav's = owned

Source: C:\Documents and Settings\KMR\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\418XEJ05\detour[1].hta
Click for more information about this virus : Trojan.Sinkin

You can thank Gabe for that virus he got it on acciden't and I clicked on his aim profile.

Gabe got owned by that virus! He was pissed lol

Ic3m4nZ · 10-19-2003, 08:59 PM

Get Ad Aware 6 it will do the job.

RawAlex · 10-19-2003, 11:40 PM

Gee, for a bunch of people who depend on search engines for traffic, none of you seem to be able to find shit...

http://www.computing.net/security/ww...orum/6873.html

There, thats how you get rid of it.

Oh yeah, run windows update and install EVERYTHING. Do that every week.
