Remove all the BUGS & SPIES from your COMPUTER!!!!UPDATE

[wovenwonder]

I loaded and ran ad-aware and it showed up 456 items! Now what do I do. Is it okay to remove all these?

I've never had any problems with deleting non-spyware programs. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question more specifically Jody.

Yep - delete 'em. It should create a backup by default, if for some reason you need any of the files.

Also check out SpyBot for detection and prevention of spybots on your home or work computer: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download

And here's a link for Hijack Blaster to protect your browser from being hijacked (changes to your default home page in IE, etc.): http://www.wilderssecurity.com/bhblaster.html

Good luck!

We have been having computer problems for about a week now. Something called "about:blank" ,"yoursearch", and "1search" keeps changing our home page and placing various websites in our favorites folder. We have downloaded Spybot and Adaware, but we are still having problems. We are now getting lots of popups, and our computer is running EXTREMELY slowly. Any ideas or suggestions?

Sounds like a trojan to me.

Thanks. It was a trojan. Sophos found it and deleted it.

I cannot thank everyone enough for this thread. Our computer that we have had for 3 years now has been really slow lately. I ran Ad-ware and found 299 items to delete. I cannot believe how fast my computer is now!!!
