I am fighting hard to keep the spy programs out of my PC.
i can run adware every thirty minutes and i have more in
my registry (27 files). I don't know how they keep
getting in. i also have norton firewall. i get messages
to block programs that access the internet. I am not suer
which ones are valid and which ones are going to these
hack sites to report my data. Anti Virus can't find
anything. after a reboot my browser's start page defaults
to cc.track.webfinder.

How can i get this thing out? when it attacks, is there a
little DNA strand on the left bottom of the taskbar? I
have a sony vaio PC. i don't know if Sony is going out to
the web. what does windows and norton normally access? I
am not using outlook or anything on this PC that should
have to access the web.

any takers on this? it is very frustrating to say the
least.

A couple of more thoughts:

Update your Ad-Aware to the most current file. Then boot in "Safe Mode", and
do **not** connect to the network. Do **not** startup your browser, your
email client or any such software. Make sure your anti-virus is **stopped**.
Then run your Ad-Aware scan. Make sure to move **all** found items to
Quarantine.

This should at least get you to a clean state for the next time you boot (to
"normal" mode).
