Spyware....

[quote name='PsyClerk']Do you also have Spybot? I did manual uninstalls for all the 'foreign' programs I saw in Add/Remove programs, then ran Spybot BEFORE I rebooted for anything.

I also grabbed Ad-Aware yesterday and it found even more stuff, though mainly just cookies. Still a few 'real' entries though.

I had stopped using Ad-Aware a while back because months ago, we (the IT department I worked with) found that it didn't do as well as Spybot. Obviously that's changed, and I'm already adding both programs to my tools disc so I'll have them ready to install anywhere.[/quote]

Would you mind listing what other programs you keep for your tools disc? I keep stuff like AdAware, SpyBot, F-Prot, and some of the Gibson Research tools like DCOMbobulator, UnPlug N Pray, and Shoot The Messenger.

I really don't have anything fancy. Mainly Spybot, Windows Installer, virus removal programs for the bigger viruses, two Novell Clients (one for NT, one for Win9X...yes, Novell and I hate it), the full IE6 package (not the one that requires downloading), and the latest Windows Service Packs.

At my current job, we don't do much in the way of repair. Even if it's something I know I can fix, if it's easier to reload a machine, my superiors insist on reloading.
 
[quote name='THPS']Wow thanks for the info daphatty! Most of the spyware I had kept coming back but now it hasn't come back in a while. My computer has been much faster lately and my homepage has stayed the same. L) [/quote]

No prob. Glad I could help.
