How to get rid of all the spyware Realone installs

[DaRushin]

I need to know if anyone has manage to do it? I need to view Real media and this Fooking program has installed a ton of spyware and Even ad aware can't get rid of it all. I know it put a control in IE that everytime I request a website it sends data to several sites (www.cj.com and many more) which then causes popups (especially on 404 pages!). I looked the downloaded programs in the internet options and remove several Active X obkects but the damn things keep getting downloaded which means that there is something left that is putting it there.

Go Downloads.com and do a search for Ad-Aware, d/l, install, run program.

The control is still present after I run ad aware. I forgot to mention that I already run it. I even updated the sig file and still couldn't get it. I get pop ups on the IE 404 Error page still. I have checked the source and it is ok with no popups, so the control must still be present.

Did you remove all cookies at the same time? Do you remember what date you installed real? Or around what date this started happening? If so go start/find/files or computers/date and go from there.

I got it, it seems that it was hooked into IE. I broke out my development process viewer that links both the processes and threads to thier respective files. I found it linked to a folder in program files called networking essentials . I deleted the entire directory just to be safe. I am sure I got it, because when i compare the before and afters of trying to come to anad's site with a packet sniffer and the spam sites (cj.com) queries are gone.
