Datalore Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 You may have spyware on your computer. To remove it, go to LavasoftUSA.com and download the free version of Adaware. Update the reference files, and then scan your entire machine. If that doesn't remove the spyware or fix the problem, try downloading Spybot S&D to scan again.If all else fails, Google search for "Reinstall Internet Explorer" and follow the instructions.
roger04 Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Deleted spys/ads. Didn't fix. Anyway how do I flush IE cache?

I have adaware.
roger04 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 I have anothe rsmall prob here. After scans and a few surfing on net. The ads/spys appers again. Especially at cookies. How do I block them from commin in?
roger04 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 scanned, I got 21 tracking cookies. I think it coudl be the problem with the installation of otehr browsers. Well...
roger04 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 Oh My//// I scanned with the latest registered Pro Ad-aware. I found 77 spys/ads. With the "possible browser hijack attemp" ... Well.. the free version of adaware suck.
roger04 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 SahAgent[regkey, regvalue, file]Shield-BLSS[regkey, file]UCSearch[regkey, file]VX2.Betteri[regkey, file]Windows[regdata]Possible Vrowser hijack attemp[regdata]Tracking cookie[file]All Low except "possible browser hijack attemp" which is medium.Can any of these track/hack my password at any account?
roger04 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 I found more stuffs at Spybot S&D than Ad-aware did. So which is better now?
Ignace Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Here is some other tool you have to try:HijackthisIt helped me to get rid of things that adaware did not find.Not only it lists all startup items, it also list all BHO's (Browser Helper Objects) and DPF (Downloaded Program Files). Those BHO's and DPF are loaded whenever IExplorer is active. Hijackers often use BHO's for tracking online behaviour, displaying popups, etc. Same for the DPF.When I removed all crap Iexplorer also opened much faster and consumed less RAM.
