How Can I Get Rid Of Spyware And Homepage Hitchhikers If The Yahoo Antispy Is Not Removing Them?
Posted by adminFeb 8
They are the following:
TrojanDownloader.Win32.Zlob.ci
Trojan.Win32.Startpage.adh
I would appreciate any assistance.
Thank You.
Try Adaware or Spybot Search and Destroy. They are free. Download at the sites below.
I have encountered the trojan downloader in various forms. It linked my computer homepage to small name search engines, online casinos, sex sites, and a bunch random sites in my favorites menu. I installed spysweeper onto my computer. It gives me a warning and prompt anytime a program tries to change my homepage. I use spysweeper in conjunction with norton antivirus, and yahoo antispy and that keeps me trouble free. Most things on my computer have been spyware and these programs have removed them. Its not a lot of money for the programs to be worry free.
You can use anther program for this. just like Microsoft anti-spy
If you have software like 98 or xp, i’d reformatt the hard drive and reload windows. works for me.nothing any good on the net is free.
get the avg antivirus it is free i think at avg.com if not then do a search, and download the search and destroy it is a nice spyware tool also free
get a virus program to remove it because if u have important documents then they can get erased
You should have an antivirus program, and a firewall installed on your computer. You can download quite a few good free programs from various websites on the internet.
Depending on your system, because some take more resources than others, you can pick which one suits you best.
I have 2 systems, one is an old IBM with windows 98, and only 1.5 GB, and the other is a laptop with Windows XP and 60 GB.
The IBM taught me to use limited resources, as I had no space or speed, especially for many of today’s programs.
The programs I use to keep my systems clean and problem free are:
Zonealarm firewall
Antivir antivirus
Spybot search and destroy – for various malware.
Adaware – for spyware
Regseeker – to clean the registry ( especially after of an infection)
These can all be obtained for free and are very user friendly.
The advanced features of Spybot (you have to turn it on once downloaded) are very handy! Especially the file shredder for your cache files etc. It also has a registry protector and blocks many things like bad urls, pop ups, bad downloads, etc. I love it!
Before you download, I would recommend that you go to the Trendmicro Housecall website and do a full system scan as it will also do the removal for you!
