Turn off "Install on Demand" in your IE settings can reduce the possibility And a well maintained FW/AV setup is always a recommendation . for getting rid of the malware ... Hijackthis is far more reaching into the registry for finding offending things but it also includes alot of normal good things in its report that mustn't be deleted willy nilly. adaware and spybot work off definition lists, hijackthis works off whats actually running and registered in your registry including services and such that you need . be careful if you choose this product. try the lock it works well ;-þ [img]http://www.shekk.com/asylum/sigs/beersig.gif[/img] Loading...
