Hooray for Microsoft AntiSpyware!
 

Managed to get rid of the nastiest of nasties from my system which nothing else could remove.

If you haven't already done so, get it here.

Good, good. :)

DOH !

Invalid Windows Product Key
Unfortunately the key that you used to install Windows matches one on a list of known invalid Product Keys. There are two likely reasons for this:

so far im very happy with it

trying it now

for those with a "dodgy" copy of windows, get it here http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...areInstall.exe

Microsoft Anti-Spyware is not a bad piece of software. Caught some files that the other one's couldn't.

We had one machine that I had given up on --- the MS spyware tool got it all cleaned up.

Look at the bottom of all our site's tours. We are encouraging our surfers to use it too. I don't think all spyware is evil, but it has certainly been abused by some people. Time to clean up the mess they've created.

Same here, got tons of crap that Spyboy S&D didn't catch :thumbsup

I love this software. Thanks to it I don't have headaches anymore...

You don't actually need a bona fide copy of Windows to run it. You can choose not to run the verifier if you don't want to.

all programs are going to find something that the other ones didn't. Microsoft spyware remover is just another program that they bought from a company. It was called "Giant" before. We use it at the store once in a while if Spybot and Ad-aware don't fix the customers problems.

All 3 are good programs

it took out my whole kazaa folder :(

yeah MS bought Giant software, changed the logo a make a annoucement
"we are now able to mess our own shit"

please dont tell anyone we've baugh this soft to prove we can develop something to the masses

was using Giant way before MS baugh them

Very nice program :thumbsup

hey thats a first

It's an awesome product... it even found shit on my machine and I thought I had it all cleaned!

Thanks for the tip! Getting it now.

It's o.k. for a free program although it really doesn't do much for me.I would pay for a program like BPS if you want to effectively remove shit.I run BPS every day it and it finds atleast 20 instances and Microsoft doesn't find any

Thanks, looks good :thumbsup

im still getting popups, i will have to format.

Took care of my AFF PID hijack problem. :thumbsup

XOXOXO

Naughty, I'm also a fan of Microsoft's anti-spyware. I have been trying for ages to get rid of a program that 180solutions.com placed on my computer. Every time I do a search on the internet, this spyware junk throws up a box with a site that they believe is similar to my search. I contacted them, and they refused to help me get rid of it. In fact, these assholes are being touted as a millionaire company on the rise. You would be surprised to know the legitimate companies that are using this spamming invasive piece of crap.

Microsoft's software got rid of it, at least for now. 180solutions is like Joesho,
it keeps popping up and bugging the shit out of you just when you think you have eliminated it.

I've run Spysweeper from Webroot for about a year and a half now and have to say its the best I know of but I"m trying this MS one out now to see how it goes, thanks for the links. For those of you that have things that won't get clean, have you run your anti-spyware programs while in safe mode? There are some things that just won't clean while its resident and it will say cleaned but upon reboot just restarts or reinstalls itself.....just throwing that out as an fyi.

I do have to give a :thumbsup for the process lister in the advanced tools, having the programs identified in detail is a nice feature in the MS one.

it looks like Giant AntiSpyware

Oddly enough it wont set up on this machine. Says I need MSIE 6.0 which I have.

haha true it is. While this MS antispyware is running, look in the task manager and you'll see the process "GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe" running.

it makes me feel young again!

That's because Microsoft acquired Giant AntiSpyware.
