edited June 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I have done Microsoft antispyware, Ad Aware, spybot s&d, and the trend micro scan. I have this stupid little red x at the bottom of my screne that I know is the reason my desktop and home page is taken over. I'm getting spy sweeper thise weekend, but I want this gone first. I have killbox, I just need to know which files to get rid of and anything else that can be found. Thanks.

    Then reboot your computer and post a new log.

    As precaution measures for the future, please follow these steps to ensure that your computer stays clean and secure:
    1. Always have AntiVirus software running - Having an AntiVirus is very important and can protect you in the future from all kinds of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    2. Keep your AntiVirus program updated - Without having an updated AntiVirus program you will be susceptible to any form of new malware as it is released. If your AntiVirus software has the option of Automatic Updates you should enable it. If not, visit the producer's website at least once a week and download any updates for the product.

    3. Use a Firewall - Using a firewall is essential in the Internet today. Having one at default settings will block intruders from accessing your computer and can block new programs from installing without your consent.

    4. WindowsUpdate - Make sure that you keep your computer updated by visiting [link=http://www.windowsupdate.com]windowsupdate.com[/link] weekly, and downloading any critical updates. Many of these updates are against hackers and malware installations. Without all critical updates you will be susceptible to many of the spyware creator's tricks to get you to install their software. Download and install all critical updates and reboot your computer. Continue this until all critical updates have been installed.

    5. Anti-Spyware Software - Spybot - Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware SE

      Both of these programs are free and reccomended by many anti-spyware professionals. You should download them from the links below, keep them updated, and scan weekly.

      Spybot - Search & Destroy
      Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition 1.06

    6. Secure Internet Explorer - Spyware Shooter is a free program which I developed for the cause of blocking malicious websites from installing spyware onto your computer. Please check for updates weekly and download any new releases to make sure that you are safe against newly-disovered websites.

    I am currently deciding whether to get Spy Sweeper or Defender Pro 10-15 in one, do you recommend one over the other?

    I would reccomend SpySweeper since I have never heard of the product and I use Spysweeper to protect my other computer.
