[QUOTE]Originally posted by JFB: [QB] Thanks for the info. Trojan-activated spy/adware is uncommon, but among the hardest pests to remove from a system. My (experienced) sympathies to those who have had to deal with this. [URL=http://pestpatrol.com]Pest Patrol[/URL] offers a free spy/adware scan on their website that I've found invaluable in keeping my computer clean: [URL=http://www.pestscan.com/Scan.asp]http://www.pestscan.com/Scan.asp[/URL] When the page loads, enter "Yes" at the prompt for download (don't worry; it's harmless, and neccessary for scanning), then press the "Scan Now" button when it appears. You'll soon see a list of all "pest" components installed on your computer. Though the site encourages you to buy its commercial pest-ridding software, it also offers information on alternative (free) methods of cleaning your computer by clicking on the listed item. Be aware, however, that this site only reveals ad/spyware, not viruses. For the latter, you'll need a reputable anti-virus program like Norton's. A word of warning: be very suspicious of "free" pest-cleaning software found on the internet. Many such programs will install their own ad/spyware while ostensibly ridding your computer of others'. These are particularly malicious and hard to get rid of. Geoff's recommendation of Spybot is a good one. Effective and reputable. But always research the product before you download it. Pest Patrol has a large archive of malicious "pest-cleaners." Googling helps, too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
