Is there any way that I can get rid of WinSpywareProtect?

Question

I just returned from vacation, and I turned on my computer. A popup from WinSpywareProtect showed up. It wouldn't let me x out of it, and my computer forced me to download it! I can't delete it at the Control Panel, so how do I get rid of this c**p?

Answer 1

go into your computer, the icon, and select add/remove/change program. you will be able to unnstall it in there.

Answer 2

I just had this too! Nothing was working for me, but I used this Super Antispyware thing and it completely got rid of it! And it's free! Dunno the link, but it works! Hope you get rid of it quick (it was sooooo annoying!) ^_^

Answer 4

You have been infected with a nasty malware, your security soft has failed to do it's job.

First do an online scan and clean with http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html AND http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/

Now it's time to replace that miserable insecurity software that  you use; download the installers for

browser - http://www.opera.com/ - use this instead that malware magnet IE

antivirus - http://www.avast.com/

antispyware - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...

................. - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

firewall - http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

They are all the best in their category and FREE.

Unplug the internet line, uninstall the junk and install these (if necessary in safe mode) one by one with each necessary reboot done.

Reconnect the line and update them (Spybot has it manual).

That's all. Now admire how fast and safe (only if you never use IE again) your pc is.

Try system restore and restoring to a previous date...
