I can't take it. I get a ton of adware so I delete it all. My computer is fine. Then I scan it today and Norton finds 17 at risk files. Then I scan with Spybot and it finds 25 at risk files. Then I scan with Ad-aware 6.0 and it finds 45 at risk files.hell to do. I don't want to reformat my computer. I don't know what to do. Do you have any ideas?

Live with it. Adware isn't really anything that bad, everyone has it, in fact, GamingVoid probably is full of it. No one can really help it though, it usually comes from any website. Just scan every week or so and you'll be fine. It's nothing to lose sleep over.

Okay. Thanks ZBomber. That is good to know. I have spent to much time fighting it. I will just deal with it. For a matter of fact, I don't even know I have it until I scan my computer.

Use firefox, get a firewall.
You can almost delete Ad-Aware. I dont use it, and when I do it finds NOTHING.

This could be that there is a trojen in your computer. If this is true, I recommend you looking for a trojen remover as fast as possible so people can't steal any passwords that you type in.

Use The Cleaner. It takes a while, but it kicks ass. The demo version will work fine.

I will check that out.
I do have a firewall.
I do have Firefox.
I delete all of this crap but it comes back.
Norton did not find a trojan on my computer when I scanned.

Norton isn't the best for trojans. Use the link Tokin posted.

Ok, fine. I will do a scan when I go to bed. Then I will try to remember to tell you what the scan finds tomorrow.

Sorry for the 2x post, but it is important.
Result:
found 7 trojans (holy shit)
deleted them all
I only have the trial though. What do I do when the trial runs out? Do I have to buy the program?

Found 5. ABetternternet trojans. Apparently, it is actually adware, not a trojan. It makes pop-ups in IE.
Then I have a trojan called VB.ca
Still scanning.....

I know, it kicks some trojan ass, The Cleaner.

I had a key logger! Awesome, but did I have to run the .exe for it to work? If so, that sucks because I didn't run it!

So what do I do when the trial runs out? Do I have to buy The Cleaner for %50?
It does kick trojan ass. Thanks for telling me about it, Tokin.

I'm in the process of downloading the cleaner right now. It sounds cool. I've already had enough of someone stealing my password for my aim account. I don't have time to deal with trojan crap.

It is a long scan. Don't use your computer while you are scanning. It will probably take about an hour. Just do it over night or something.
That is too bad that people hacked your AIM. It is all over google on how to do that now.

which os u use? if it is windowsXP u really f*cked because it has system restore and it will restore the trojans, at least on my winXP that was what was happeing i was deleting trojans and it come back, once i torn of systen restore deleted all "trojans" and keylogs and now i got no more virus.
if ur trial version finish try to get a crack for the program.

That f&%$en is going down. I'm gonna crack his password someday. In the Scuba Squad two wrongs make a right. reddragon042391 is such a fag.

You don't have to give away his screen name. lol
Finding a program to crack someone's screen name is not easy. You might want to ask around on forums and stuff for programs.
But let's get back to the topic. What did the scan find?

I don't know yet I forgot to run the program last night I was so sour from football practice.  . That's what I felt like. I'll try to remember tonight.

I bet you forgot to run the program tonight too. You should really remember to run this program. I think you have a few trojans. Your Norton Antivirus expired May 2003. lol

What did the scan find? Did you run it, or did you forget again?
I think I might scan again to make sure my computer is okay before I go on my trip to Washington D.C.

My memory sucks. I was really tired and wtching a football game last night. That could've led to me forgetting about it. Or maby I was a little drunk  . J/K.

Did you remember yet? If so, what did the scan find?
If you didn't remember yet, I suggest that you write a note or something. I really think that you have a trojan.

Oh dammit, I think I will write it down thanks for the idea. I need to get rid of trojans if I have any.

Better idea, why don't you scan now?

Now that is a damn good idea, ZBomber. Do it Scuba. Just finish your posting first because you need to close all of your other applications for The Cleaner to run at a reasonable speed. The scan will take about 45 minutes with all of your other things closed anyways. It is worth it though.

At least you finally did it. Trojans are bad to have.
