Hi all, As with others, there are still some spyware left
even after scans/cleans by MSN & Adaware. They helped a
lot but still annoying and possibly harmful screen pop-
ups (Ads & Spyware websites) show up uninvited.

I thought of going to Windows/system32 directories to
delete the files identified by the scans but
uncleanable. I managed to delete some but a few
like "guard.temp" could not be erased. I even went to
DOS Prompt mode.

Does someone know how to do that? Thanks.
 
I've only been on beta1 for 36 hours now but so I don't
know yet if it worked permanently, but I used Norton
Clean Sweep on the Win32 entries (176 on my unit alone)
and it wiped them all out. The next few days should show
me if it held true.
 
I would recommend restarting your system in safe mode by pressing F8 before
the first Windows screen appears.

Then do full, deep scans with your antispyware products--they should be able
to remove these things in safe mode. Scan until a scan comes through clean.
