:(

someone downloaded gator and some other stuff, :( now even running spy bot and adaware can't seem to get rid of it all. keeps coming back.

i pulled HD's out of system and put them in another system, ran Adaware and it STILL didn't get it all. :(

anyone have any ideas??

btw, format is not an option. :(

when i run spybot on the system, the app shows up in 16 colors. :( it's almost as if, whatever i'm invested with, is spoofing spybot.

right now, it's my last option. it would take too long to reinstall and it has to be up and running by morning.

Is it your machine? If so, let it be until after you do whatever you need to do with it tomorrow THEN reformat.

it's a server at a clients. :(

i should charge for this sh!t, but i'm just doing it for them as part of our support package. what pisses me off is, one of their employees downloaded this probably while downloading mp3's. :(

btw, that particular guy is gone now.

See my above task. Basically it is an ad program that provides tons of popups and integrates itself with AIM to spread. If she uses AIM, check her buddy info to see if it contains a link that states something along the lines of Whoa..... The link would point to either realphx.com or talkstocks.net.
