Gentlemen,

I have a nasty little spyware problem with this Huntbar malware program.    I can't get rid of it.    I went to PChell.com and did what the instructions told me to do but I can't find any listing of it in my add/delete programs list.    Every time I run Spybot SD it finds Huntbar but I can't get rid of it!


When I run McAfee it finds a trojan called wivwpej.exe    McAfee can't delete it,only quarrantine it.    What exactly is it?    I have found it under Windows System 32 and try to delete it there but says disk is full of some such nonsense.     Its really starting to get under my skin.        I quit surfing with IE and now only surf with Mozilla Firefox.  I'm really trying to limit my time while using a browser surfing the web.    I learned my lesson using IE and getting hordes of spyware.     Someone please help me?  I would really appreciate it.       I tried safe mode to delete it but it only comes back again when I boot the OS in normal mode.  

Windows XP SP1 is the OS I am using.

Thanks guys

yea go to safe mode ... then clean out all your temp/temp internet files  then go after the virous itself . Trend micro has a viropedia that has most of the virouses listed and the exact regestry ect type editing instructions .

beshure you reset your home page also so you dont reinfect yourself if you open ie by mistacke .

if you know what your doing inthe regestry Hijack this is a great program also (but its not for the inexperienced user)
