Okay guys,

 For some reason when I try to load Internet Explorer. It acts like it wants to load but then it just stops. I called my internet provider. We tried everything, But nothign would work. I had a thing called p2p networking. Cause i used to have kazza. All this week my IE has been acting weird. Not being able to go to some sites. He told me that I got spyware on my computer. I reall dont want to reformat my HD so can somebody tell me any good spyware remover sites. I am using msn explorer and i dont really like it but it will have to do. Also the support operator told me that I shoudl call my computer manufacturer. And get them to walk me thru reinstalling IE. But the wait is going to be like 2hours. I reall dont want to wait that long. Pleses help anybody



thanks,

Do a google search for Adaware. It's free and works well, also try Spybot.

Be carefull when you call the computer manufacturer if you have any downloaded software that may be illegal on your computer. I had a friend in college with a similar problem, the college I attended was a very large computer science school so we had a pretty advanced tech support right on campus. So my friend calls them up, they help him out but in the process find all the songs and movies he had and then sent his name to a bunch of people and next thing he gets a letter from microsoft telling him he needed to remove it all.  They even sent someone from tech support to search his computer 2 weeks later.

Your computer is probably much like the one I use for downloading stuff via p2p. I used Kazza for a long time before I made the change to a couple other P2P programs out there. For the most part, and I know you aren't going to like to hear this, you are screwed. I had so much spyware installed on my system that no matter how many scans I did to remove the stuff it just came back time and time again. Adaware would go through and remove what it found, I would then go back and do another scan right after than and it found more crap, all of the same things that it found before.

Basicly you will more than likely just have to reformat and do a fresh install. Back up what you want to save and get it done.

When it get's to far, a reformat is the way to go.

Sucks, but when your back up, antivirus, spybot, adware etc. on a regular basis it the way to go.

And Kazaa is a DEFINATE NO..
