Eliminating Spyware
Xref: kermit microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin:144050
I continually get spyware on my XP system. I recently ran Spybot and it eliminated several items, but said it could not eliminate two of them. I ran regedit but could not locate the files manually. So...I changed users thinking maybe my other user had something that would help. When I tried to swith users, a box came up saying "MS Install trying to install Money Express 2002". Then the whole system locked up. I rebooted and again, the same thing with this user. I don't even have Money Express (that I know of) unless it came with my system. I have never used it. I tried inserting the Application discs that came with the system, but that didn't help. Now I have a bigger mess than when I started. I can't even get this user to boot up nor can I get the spyware cleaned from my system. I am on a home network (I have 2 computers networked with Linksys box sharing internet connection). Is it possible I deleted something I shouldn't have with Spybot?? Any suggestions appreciated. |
