Got the Adware from hell, Rant

I would love to run into the ass wipe that wrote the adware I have on my
computer right now. I would inflict a slow and painful death on him, video
taping the entire long drawn-out tortuous event then send it to Dateline, 60
minutes, 20/20 and all the rest. I would not even worry about being
prosecuted for murder as I know if I could just get one person on my jury
that has ever had a virus or had their computer taken over by adware the
best the prosecution could ever hope for would be a hung jury.Among other
things I would cut this persons testicles off and make him eat them.
I am not a novice computer user, I do not open email attachments from
unknown sources, do not click on links without having a good Idea where they
go, I run up to date virus software, up to date Spyware detection and have
still managed to get the adware from hell. I keep getting sent to an ad for
antispyware soldier. This is extortion they put the problem there and want
me to pay for its removal which would likely not even remove it but add yet
even more problems.
These Sons of Bitches that write this software need to be tortured to
death on national TV. If that were done enough times maybe this crap would
cease. Why would anyone smart enough to write this crap choose to do this as
instead of just a legitimate job programming where they could make good
money.

Do you want advice on removing this infection, or is this just a rant?

So: if it's the former. What antivirus/antispyware program(s) are you
using?
And what, if any steps have you taken to remove the infection?
 
Mostly just a rant as I am rebuild the entire system in the morning anyway
thanks to AMDs price cuts. I am upgrading from a barton core XP2800 to an
AM2 X2 3800. I am running Mcafee antivurs and Spyware Sweeper and this
adware managed to get past both updated versions. Arrrgg!

Mainly that you're upgrading your system, maybe you should give Linux a try.
It wouldn't solve all your problems, but probably more than 99.99% of them.

Of course, price is a limiting factor :) Some people like to pay more, then
get bugged by MS everytime they upgrade their system. Finally, it's all about
how simple you want life to be.

Ah yes, simple like not having to decide from amongst a
large number of programs. Or did you mean simple like
having to compile your own drivers (if you can find the info
available for whatever it is that needs the driver.).

OP, just what was this "Adware from hell"? If you Google
it (or the program that it runs from) you should find some
returns that describe the problem you found and how to
fix/remove it.

Heh....You have no idea how many times I've felt the same way. Even
those of us with nazi protection settings get hit once in awhile.
Almost makes me want to get a job where I can put these people to
justice. I have a feeling nothing gets done...

You mean like the 18,876 packages I have available at the click of a
mouse in Synaptic? Or do you mean the 100,000 projects on SourceForge?
No, sorry, there's no software available for Linux...

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for about 18 months now. Never had to
compile a driver, or anything like it. Have you even used Linux? If not,
perhaps you ought to just keep your mouth shut...?

Step out of the 80's man, SuSE will find and dlownload drivers
automatically. It's easier than Windows and the support is backed by
Novell. Gaming on the other hand is a problem.

It's true that the whole Debian comes on only 13 CDs...

Big problem:

../configure
make
make install

and, in a minute, you have your driver. But I never had to do that...

No question, you're much better staying in the good care of a monopoly, mainly
that, as WindsorFox points out, gaming is not Linux's strong point. (Though
somes games also have a version for Linux -- such as Quake, I believe -- and
Wine might succeed in running some Windows games. I don't know.) There's so
much to be learned from games, no wonder Windows advocates like them so much.
All the gamers I know are real big brains.

Anyway, this is not a Linux advocacy group. It was just a suggestion I made to
get out of adware hell.

Whatever the current number, it's a small fraction of what's
available for Windows. It's not just games either, while Linux
support may be growing in some sectors, it's still way below
that for Windows. You are much more likely to find a selection
of programs to pick from in Windows, even if there is a very
limited number that will run under Linux. Even SourceForge has
many Windows binaries for download.

I'm not bashing Linux, but you Penguins always bash Windows,
then when someone points out anything that suggests Linux may
not be the answer, you feel hurt. If you JUST want to surf the
NET or operate a server, then Linux would be a great choice.

"18 months", wow! You must be the real expert by now.
If you have limited yourself to just those hardware and
software devices that claim Linux compatibility, and come
with Linux drivers, why would you need to? You might be
surprised how many other devices are out there, that don't
and won't ever, have Linux drivers.

My mouth is normally shut when I am posting, I have used
UNIX, does that count?

I don't think it is necessarily a *small* fraction. How many distinct
programs worldwide will *only* run on Windows? I have absolutely no
idea. But presumably there is a saturation point where there is no value
to creating yet another application that does the same thing as a
hundred other applications out there. And yes, there are Windows
binaries on SourceForge too. That's the thing about having the source -
it means that you can port it to different platforms relatively easily.

Hey, I'm no penguin. I thought I'd made that clear by pointing out that
I'd only been using it for 18 months. It's just that you were clearly
misinformed about the experience of using Linux, and its capabilities,
and you were passing on that misinformation. Linux is as good a choice
regardless of what else you want to do with your computer. Office stuff?
Linux would be a great choice. Sound/video editing? Linux would be a
great choice. OpenGL gaming? Linux would be a great choice. You get the
idea. And if you want to go on the Internet, for goodness' sake don't
use Windows... :)

I've never bashed Windows. I quite enjoyed using Win2K before I made the
switch. It's just that I enjoy using Ubuntu more.

No need to be nasty.
If you have limited yourself to just those hardware and
software devices that claim Linux compatibility, and come
with Linux drivers, why would you need to?
Click to expand...

No, I just used whatever was in my computer at the time. It was an
experiment that I ended up sticking with. I didn't have to hunt around
on the Internet for drivers like I've had to do with Windows previously.
Which is quite impressive since for the most part drivers are
reverse-engineered.

You might be
surprised how many other devices are out there, that don't
and won't ever, have Linux drivers.
Click to expand...
There are many devices out there that won't have drivers provided by the
manufacturers, that's true. But the number of devices that won't run
under Linux is much much smaller.

UNIX, does that count?

Not really, but I take your point.
 
I got this shit too on my computer. Must be a brand new adware because it is
impossible to find anything about it on the internet. Would be interesting
if any could help with a "proved" solution. Not a solution like "run
spydoctor....run adadware....." because these programs can't remove it!

Here is some keywords from the page http://antispynet.com/ or

click the link or you risk get the shit:

It can be removed, I have done it, but it takes more time and
trouble than it's worth. Software for 150% guaranteed removal, works
everytime the first time.... fdisk.
