  1. Make sure you are running it as admin,If not then give yourself admin privileges.


  2. I have use Superantispyware free edition. It is a cripple ware,

    meaning many features are disable unless you pay.

    I scan my PC with it and it can only come up with 3 harmless cookies, which I can easily delete using internet explorer delete cookie button.

    I would suggest that you get Avast Home Edition version 4,

    which is free for personal use.

    Avast is a very effective and free anti-virus program because it can do

    a boot scan in safe mode and it will remove the entire virus on your PC.

    Even those viruses that hide inside the system restore folder.

    Windows utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files

    automatically to the System volume information /System Restore folder.

    This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file,

    and most anti-virus programs will be unable to delete these files. You

    must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files

    from the folder if you use another brand of anti-virus. However, you do

    not need to do so if you use Avast to do a boot up scan in safe mode.

  3. Try these anti-spywares reviews.

  4. Alternatives)

    Spybot Serach & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.h...

    Ad-Aware http://lavasoft.com/

    I prefer spybot, but both are free, and should do what you want.

  5. Avast is the answer. You can try on there Home Version, do register in their site to get a free license for a year and you'll have a year of worry free machine.
