Answer 2

There are no guarantees that ANY anti-malware program will work 100%.

I suggest you download Ad-Aware 2008 and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run them. If any of the above (or any anti-malware, for that matter) doesn’t seem to be able to run properly or get rid of everything it reports finding, try running it again in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking.  Both often prevent malware from protecting itself.

Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.  

To get into Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking:

1.Log out and reboot your machine.

2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.

3.Select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.

4.When the login screen comes up, log in as Administrator.  By default, Administrator has no password.

5.The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different.  You won't be able to see the Internet, for instance.

6.When you're finished, log out and reboot back into normal mode.

Note that even if the anti-malware programs get rid of the malware, they may not be able to reverse the effects.  Search the Web for possible fixes.

Update and run everything regularly, not just when you think you already have malware.

Good luck.

Answer 4

you can have it professionally removed but also get a good spyware program. I have spybot search and destroy and AVG both very good. AVG is set up to do a daily scan. You should have a back up for your software but if not you don't have to start from scratch. The spyware can be removed without deleting everything.

Answer 5

Google superantispyware and download the free program.

I use that and AdAware2008.

Both are free and between them pick up and eradicate just about everything
