Title: adfarm.mediaplex removal?
Post by: Jackal1 on August 10, 2006, 12:28:55 PM

Anyone know if there is a free utility to locate and remove this crap.
S&D didn`t get it and neither did AVG.

Try Adaware (http://www.lavasoft.com/) then turn of ActiveX!

I tryed Adaware after my post with no luck. As a matter of fact, it came up completely empty handed like I had the cleanest system around. I don`t remember that ever happening. It`s got me a little :noid .

:D

Thanks for the replies.

OK..............I`m on my last nerve with this stuff. I have a pickaxe, some explosive and a sawed off shotgun at hand. I`m about ready to Tron out and go in after this stuff. :)
I don`t have a noticeable problem with it at any time other than when using my Yahoo mail, especialy using the delete function. Browser freeze. I have done some reading and found out that this is common for it to show there. Ebay toolbar seems to be another source. (which I do not have).
Any more suggestions would be more than appreciated.
Btw I am using Firefox.
