getting rid of a virus
I have just bought McAFee's virus scan, I have downloaded
SpyBots search and destroy as well as CWShredder. I have up date them all and let them do there thing. McAFee finds some adware, but cant clean or delete them how do I remove them manually. They are not in my add/remove folder. I have checked in my registar under my windows\current\run nothing there.I think I have looked everywhere. If anyone has some suggestions on some virus removale or spyware removale that would be great. |

If you have checked your system and found it clean using the latest
versions of ALL of AdAware, SpyBot and BHODemon and updated their reference signatures before using them, then, if you still continue to experience problems, download a copy of HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a folder called HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp folder) and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer. Enable Explorer to see all files and folders (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files") and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log to either the HijackThis Forum at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem.
