Spyware Help..

[Rip the Jacker]

I have this computer (not mine), LOADED with spyware, and the wallpaper was changed and now says "SPYWARE DETECTED" in RED... and a popup that comes on every 5 seconds asking to pay for some program...

I need to reformat this PC, except I need to get a sh!tload of important files off it first, so how the fvck would I do this?

Get Adware SE and Spybot Search & Destroy... Update it and run full scan and remove everything u see... Should help tons to be able to move around tons more easier... Firefox too... It helps.

Also, WebRoot's SpySweeper has an online scannner, that will locate most viri, and Asquared has a free version you can use to catch what AdAware might have missed.

Also, NOD32 has a trial version that does a nice job.
