This software WILL NOT remove the spyware...it picks it
up....deletes it...2 seconds later its back and I cant
get rid of it. Any ideas?
 
Hi Lea,
Boot into Safe Mode (F8) at startup;
Empty your temporary files AND your Temporary Internet Files C:\Documents
and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder ;
Run the scan while in safe mode;
If you are running SP2, open IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons, and uncheck any
BHO's that you don't recognize.

Ditto on this problem. Same thing with winupdt and
enhanceMySearch. Cleans it, says its gone, and boom, they
start popping back up
 
Remember to choose full system scan in safe mode. Scan Page > Scan Options >
Full System Scan. And also remember to turn off system restore before you
enter safe mode.

Be careful with this advice.....!

You lose all system snapshots. No way back if
something goes complete wrong. To do this beacuse
of a IE Hijack is IMHO to much.

This is something to do after scanning with different tools.
