Adaware, Yes.

Yesterday.

I'll do it again now and see what pops up...

Run Spybot S&D as well.

I just downloaded it as well.

I'll install and run that after Ad-Aware 6.0 Pro is done.

 

[Brutuskend]

Ad-Aware = 3

Spybot = 20!


Before, every time I would run ad aware and then SpyBot, spy bot would find NOTHING. So I stopped running it. I guess Ad Aware by itself just doesn't cut it after all!


Thanks for the tips!

SpySweeper is good too, but the free version only allows one definition update.

 

[Brutuskend]

The computer seems to be running better already!

(running spy bot again, just to be SURE!)

 

[pyonir]

See...i can be helpful...sometimes.

 

[Brutuskend]

Hummm.

Spy Bot first sweep 5 entries under DSO exploit.

Second sweep 5 entries under DSO exploit. But that's ALL that showed this time.

Guess I'll go for sweep 3 and see if it comes up clean...

Ran update, and now scanning again!

 

[pyonir]

Did you restart before running it again?

that's a bug in spybot, you can ignore the remaining one's that say DSO exploit

Yeah, I just googled DSO exploit. Looks to be a bug in I.E.

Service pack two would probably fix it, but last time I installed SP2 on a old XP install it hosed my system.

I found a page telling me how to fix the bug with out doing SP2 though. Guess I'll give that a try!

 

[aircooled]

yeah you're right, I edited my post with a link that might get in the right direction...

Also, run it in safe mode.

 

[Brutuskend]

Odd, I rebooted and started in safe mode. Ran SpyBot again in safe mode and I only got 3 DSO exploits this time instead of 5. Everything else is clean now though!

Thanks for everyone's help!
