i think my computer is infected. i'm using google.com as my homepage but
everytime i click on intrernet explorer, it always goes to a certain website
which is forcing me to use it, well i tried it but it didn't work. spyware is
still there. i've tried using another spyware remover and it said it
successfully removed it. but it's still there. so i guess my question is,
what's the best website to get rid of spyware??

I have found using Adaware:
http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

and Spybot Search and Destroy:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

very effective.   They are both free.   I suggest you use both because they
each find odd things that the other misses.

You have a BHO. Try right clicking on the IE icon on your desktop and go
to Internet Options and see what add ons are there. Try removing
anything weird. If that fails, run Spybot and Adware. As far as system
restore is concerned, I would disable it in case the nasty is hiding in
there.

If the above removes it, install Spywareguard so it won't happen again.

And re-enable System Restore.

system. Download it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm

Ignore posts made by the person called Leythos, he is a stalker who's been

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting
directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to
pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list?

Chris, you've been posting my name in EVERY ONE OF YOUR POSTS ALL OVER
USENET, if you don't want to see me reply then stop posting my name in
your posts - it's that simple. Take my name out of your posts and I'll
stop replying to them. It's your choice, keep harassing me in every post
and I'll keep replying to defend my name.

The malware is foiling your attempts to clean your machine.

It won't let you go to (some) sites it knows would be its death.

Yes, the spyware is blocking the site.  See if you can go to
housecall.trendmicro.com by typing:

Download and install:
SuperAntispyware - Free
http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Safe
Mode.
How do you boot to Safe Mode?
By pressing/tabbing F8 (or F5 on some keyboards) during re-boot.
Alternatively:
click onto Start==>Run, type "msconfig" (without quotation marks), click
OK. Then click onto BOOT.INI tab and 'check' /SAFEBOOT then OK and click
Restart. To go back to Normal Mode, you must access the System
Configuration utility again and click the General tab then click/check the
radio button 'Normal Startup'- load all device drivers and services'.

Good luck :)

that's right,there's an error message that says that it's blocking something.
i will try these and will post back later. would it be better if i'll do a
clean install?
thank you very much
