Answer 1

Run your anti-spyware in Safe Mode.If you dont have an excellent anti-spyware or your current anti-spyware can't prevent spyware from Invading you computer,download a better one.

There are top 5 anti-spywares reviews,comparisons and download links on

You can download and scan your computer for free.

As the computer is booting press your "F8 Key" repeatly which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" . Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

After into safe mode,run an anti-spyware to remove the spyware and adware on you computer.

Make sure you have 1 or 2 antispyware on your computer and 1 antivirus and also 1 firewall.

Answer 4

Try "Spybot - Search & Destroy" its quite efficient and I've been using it for the past 3 or so years...

It also includes a resident (works in the background) program "Tea Timer" which monitors the Registry for changes and asks the user's permission before allowing them - thus you can check what is going on when you run some programs which drop 'bombs' into the registry/change settings etc.

Highly recommended... :-)
