Reply With QuoteAlot of these viruses attach to other operating files so if you delete them from your registry, you screw up your computer. You have to know the name of each virus or trojan to remove them as each removal requires something different. Alot of the times you still end up reformatting to completely get rid of them.

Spyware removal
Hey, I have a bunch of spyware, and probably a couple trojans running on my computer, and need to remove them.
First I ctrl-alt-del'ed and wrote down all the names of the processes I didn't recognize. There were about 20.
I went into the registry and deleted all the ones from the Run part of Windows, so none of them start up there. I went into safe mode and deleted as many as I could, but some of them cannot be deleted because they still start up in safe mode. How can I delete these ones? Is there a different mode I can start my computer in to delete BS like this?
I ran AdAware too, but it didn't detect a lot of the stuff this time.
Any other tips or tricks for removing these little bastards? I know I could reformat but I'm trying to avoid that if possible...
Thanks.

Also they work by defeating virus protection and ad aware programs, so after you get them, the programs are of no use to you in removing them and that is why you manually have to remove them.

Download Hijackthis and run a scan. After you get the report copy and paste it in any number of the free forums where computer nerds will look it over and tell you how to get rid of the problems...

not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
