Possible spyware!!!

[tvfreakazoid]

Hey fellas my comp is trippin out. My mouse moves around by itself, when i open up my web browser (fire fox, IE), it starts to go wacky. When my comp is loading I see "lucallbackproxy" 4 of them loading on my comp??? What the hell is that? I did google it and I read that it's a spyware deeply inbeeded into my comp. I have 2 spyware, spysweeper, zone alram. So what needs to be done to get rid of it??? Do i have to reformat? I have a program called window washer, would that help? I just don't want to erase anything important. Well any help would be great.

when you googled it, you didn't find a solution? wtf?

If I ever see signs of weird stuff like that I just format. Takes about an hour, and you come out with a nice clean system. Why both spending hours trying to remove that sort of junk when a simple format is so much more effective?

backup, reformat, update, unload the backups....! You probably have lots of less obvious spyware too, shame to slow down that nice pc .. And stop using IE / downloading screensavers and dodgy pr0n

I dont have screen savers. But I do have porn lol. So when I reformat, should I just reformat my C drive (raptor) and dont worry about my secondary drive???

after a cleanup with those tools says nothing left to remove, you can install norton again

when you do, restart after install, allow it to go through its own firewall, and run liveupdate
restart
run live update
restart
run live update, when its got nothing kleft to update, (and this really takes four sessions) your norton should run as new.


I did google it and I read that it's a spyware deeply inbeeded into my comp.
Why didn`t your anti virus go off? allerting you if indeed this is a spyware?

I did a yahoo search and find no mention of a spyware..
