Adware Removal
Hi!
I have adware that gives me a ton of pop up web pages about half are ads and the other half don't load. I've used spybot search and destroy and it finds trojans etc. and removes them but that doesn't help this issue. I've used Ad-Aware and it finds 9 problems that are critical but when I try to delete them or quarantine them, nothing happens. I've also tried scanning with Ad-Aware while the computer's in Safe Mode but they still wouldn't delete. The entries have an ip address: 127.0.0.1 (that's the same for all 9 of the entries and the entries seem to be under miscellaneous, they don't have a name or anything) I would really appreciate some help, I don't know what to do. |

Adware Removal
That's the address of your own computer.
Neither SS&D nor Ad-Aware check for all types of malware. If you don't have comprehensive anti-malware software, that's like driving a car without seats belts or air bags. 'Comprehensive' anti-malware software scans for all types of malicious software in the background, on demand and on schedule For now try scanning your system with /several/ of the better online scanners, such as: Kaspersky Antivirus (http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner) Panda ActiveScan (http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan) Download HijackThis from www.trendsecure.com. Run it, save a log, and post the log at one of the many sites that support HJT, such as spywarewarrior.com, bleepingcomputer.com, and http://aumha.net -- but not here. Within a day you'll have step-by-step advice from an expert on cleaning up any malware infestations. Even the best detection and removal software can't fix every malware infection. If none of the above remove the infection, you may want to show the computer to a professional. You might need to erase your hard drive and start over. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Zuri wrote: Hi!
