spybot and ad-aware are able to partially remove some adware and spyware
but they come back because the main program is still running you need to
download hijackthis make a log and then go to spywareinfo.com and get to
their malware forum and post your hijackthis log be sure to read the
instructions at the site about how to post or else you'll get flamed
good luck and I hope you learn how to punctuate your writing in future

Ben,

BullsEyeNetwork is crapware.

Start by downloading each of the following free tools:
AdAware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
CWShredder http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html
CoolWWWSearch.SmartSearch (v1/v2) MiniRemoval
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4113.html
HijackThis http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155
LSP-Fix and WinsockLSPFix http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
Spybot S&D http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download
Stinger http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=stinger

Create a separate folder for HijackThis, such as C:\HijackThis - copy the
downloaded file there. AdAware and Spybot S&D have install routines - run them.
The other downloaded programs can be copied into, and run from, any convenient
folder.

First, run Stinger. Have it remove any problems found.

Next, close all Internet Explorer and Outlook windows, and run
CoolWWWSearch.SmartSearchMiniRemoval, then CWShredder. Have the latter fix all
problems found.

Next, run AdAware. First update it ("Check for updates now"), configure for
full scan (http://www.lavahelp.com/howto/fullscan/), then scan. When scanning
finishes, remove all problems found.

Next, run Spybot S&D. First update it ("Search for updates"), then run a scan
("Check for problems"). Trust Spybot, and remove everything ("Fix Problems")
that is displayed in Red.

Then, run HijackThis ("Scan"). Do NOT make any changes immediately. Save the
HJT Log.

Finally, have your HJT log interpreted by experts at one or more of the
following security forums (and post it, or a link to your forum posts, here):
Aumha: http://forum.aumha.org/index.php
Net-Integration: http://forums.net-integration.net/
Spyware Info: http://forums.spywareinfo.com/
Spyware Warrior: http://spywarewarrior.com/index.php
Tom Coyote: http://forums.tomcoyote.org/

If removal of any spyware affects your ability to access the internet (some
spyware builds itself into the network software, and its removal may damage your
network), run LSP-Fix and / or WinsockXPFIx.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Kent, Great advice. Thank goodness for such programs. Go easy on the
knit-picking about punctuation!!! There are no punctuation marks on the
traffic stop signs here in the states, and lo and behold, we still know what
to do!! Please refrain from critisizing.
