[QUOTE="PSY101, post: 10800, member: 351"] [b]Re: Anyone have a program to get rid of spyware!?[/b] Hi Guys, If you ever have any problems about spyware or viruses on your computer that most anti-spyware programs or anti-virus scanners do not pick up, then there are a few things you can do: 1. The most obvious - Reformat your hard disk to clear everything at once and install your anti-virus/firewall and or spyware BEFORE you log onto the internet. 2. Search your startup programs by typing 'msconfig' from the RUN command. Once it opens then go to the last tab which lists which programs startup and the location in the Registry. Once you have found the corresponding file that does not look right - (most of the time a program will run from the "C:" Root Folder and then you will know it is spyware or a trojan and other times it will be in the "Documents and Settingsyour logon name" and/or "Temporary Internet Files" Folders. If you do locate any spyware or trojans then you can go into the Windows Registry to delete them from your startup folder in the registry. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING IN THE REGISTRY YOU NEED TO BACK IT UP IN CASE YOU DELETE SOMETHING THAT MAY RENDER YOUR WINDOWS TO NOT LOAD AND THEN YOU WILL BE FORCED TO USE OPTION 1!!! (Unless you know how to go into SAFE MODE to recover the backed up registry files) The Registry location of the Startup folder is HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionRun (also RunOnce, RunOnceEx and RunServices which is a biggie if you constantly have your modem downloading and uploading frequently even when idle). HKLM stands for (H)ot (K)ey (L)ocal (M)achine. 3. Delete EVERY file in the Prefetch folder. What the "Prefetch" folder does is precache the files you execute often for faster access. I have found many a time that if you just delete the registry entry and not the physical files on your hard disk, then the Prefetch folder will just load it up again. I hope this helps you guys. If you have any questions then you can PM me. :grin: [/QUOTE]
