As most people, soon realise to their dismay, no single AntiMalware/Spyware/other program protects against, or cleans all possible infections.

Therefore I am not suggesting the following will either, but it is an excellent cleaning tool and after you run it, you might be pleasantly/unpleasantly surprised to see what it finds.

If you have problems, download the trial Professional version and run it, or if you just want to try it out, download the free version.

It does hug the system at startup and demands first Internet connection, but this is a small price to pay for the added security.

Help file, please read this before using.

I also use eweido. The free version deosn't check as it goes, you have to make it do a scan. However, there's various scan levels, for "complete" just start it before going to bed ..... and the updates are free.

Also ......... did anyone mention Winpatrol? Not a "scanner", but helps stop unwanted intrusions, especially web programmes installing themselves without your knowlege (downloadale from several freeware sites).

Also .... i have Norton Antivirus, and instead of paying Symmartec, I update the antivirus list with the free one regularly posted on majorgeeks.

If anybody is interested in Rootkit detection/removal, a new updated version is available. The following is an extract from their site.

10/19/2006 3.3.1020 Technology Changes
Scan time is now 30% - 40% FASTER in all scanning modes
Rootkit detection and removal ability has been drastically increased
Reboot not required if only cookies are detected during the scan

This is somewhat related to the subject: Sometimes you discover a virus or Trojan has infected a file and you cannot delete it. My antivirus software tells me that it cannot quarantene this, and tha I need to restart the computer to delete it. But the file always stays. So, the solution is this program called Unlocker. Is easy to use, look also at the website to see how it works:

Happy deleting!

I'll second that,tis very good
Also use Spybot and Ad-aware

I have to disagree. I have a virus on my pc now, which I can not remove. I've tried Spybot, and it didn't even detect. AVG couldn't detect it either.

I tried AVast, and that detected it but c0uldn't remove it. I'm still hunting. :(

Depends what you got, is it as virus or a trojan?? Also, a spyware program such as spybot or adaware are not really for getting rid of viruses.
If it is a trojan, then you got to try a trojan remover. Let us know what you got, and then we can point you to the right program.

Thanks for your swift replies. And I have got rid of the browser hijacker and the trogen (err bad spelling, :D ).

The program I used was Hijack This 2.02. It does a swift scan, taking less than one minute. Lists a load of things that could be the problem, asks you to finds the one you want and delete it. And it works a treat. :D

Cheers. :D

Seriousy, we are lucky the event in ancient history did not happen in China, and instead of a horse they would have used some bird...you would then have a malicious Peking Duck on your computer :-laugh

Here are some tools i use that are very good, Process XP and Autoruns, good to indentify processes, dll's and more.

Winsock fix resets the windows catalog, often gets corrupted when spyware is installed.

filemon good to see what processes are firing in the background
