I accidentally allowed nsvsvc.exe and I know its spyware
it comes with a readme document that says its spyware. I
was surfing the web and something came up in the right
hand corner that asked me if I wanted to allow something
and it said I may not be able to run all of my programs
if I disable it so I allowed it and now I have this
spyware on my computer and when I do the search it doesnt
detect it(I guess its because I allowed it) but I want to
get it off and I dont know what to do. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks a lot, Eric.
 
Best recommendation then would be to restart in safe mode and do a deep
scan. On the Scan Page choose Scan Options > Full System Scan. Do this at
least two times until detects something. Also, before you restart in safe
mode, disable System Restore, some trojans and spyware programs are likely
to restore themselves with system snap shots:

Right click My Computer > Properties > System Restore, check the "Disable
System Restore" check box and restart in safe mode.

Restart in safe mode instructions:

Remember, this is still beta and cannot be judged as a finished shipping
product.
 
See whether it is listed at:

Options, Settings, Spyware Scan, Ignored Spyware Threats.

This location gets my vote for the most well-hidden interface feature of the
current beta.
