...What's to drink tonight?

I'm having some burbon!!

I'm having some serious spy ware problems. I clicked on a link from a site that doesn't mess with the computer, and I instantly got a bad bug. This one sucks balls and is tough. Hopefully I can have it off by tonight.

Otherwise, some Rum and coke sounds nice.

That blows donkey!! Have you tried pestpatrol or adaware?

I would download both AdAware and Spybot to rid yourself of the spyware.

Also clear al of your cookies, and disable 3rd party cookies- they are the no 1 source of spyware.

Stay away from the porn, dude.

Seriously, if you can't fix it tonight, hit me up and I'll give you a hand with it(the computer NOT looking at porn)

Best program out there for spyware is Malware Bytes. Go to malwarebytes.org and download the free version. It will pretty much get rid of anything.

It is a program that pretends to be a spyware, so any time you open something up, it pops up and says it is spam. I already have Malwarebytes but I can't get it to run. I've already googled the bug and have some instructions of how to get rid of it (basically run malwarebytes) but malware won't even run. Can I down load Malware onto a flash card and then run it from the flash card instead?

It sucks because my lady always visits D listed, which is like a celebrity gossip site. D Listed is pretty solid and has never caused a problem. She told me to look at a picture and left the room. I sat down, didn't know what she wanted me to see, clicked a link that website suggested and...instant problems. So frustrating.

Start your PC in safe mode then run Malware Bytes.

Re-name the MalwareBytes executeable (mbam-setup.exe) to something different, this has to be done when the file is being downloaded. When you attempt to re-download mbam-setup.exe, rename it anything else when you are prompted to save the file to you machine. The Trojan is locking to block mbam-setup.exe, so if the same program is name for example "test.exe" it should run without issue.

Remember the first one is free...

PS: without seeing the machine i am guessing that this is Windows Antivirus 2009 (trojan) or related
