I was having problems with my computer and was on Microsft web site. No one could help me and one of them suggested your web site. My problem was resolved within a day.
You guys are terrific and I have gotten a lot of good info reading the posts. I have recommended your site to others.
Keep up the good work.

He told me that reference books were good but that they did not cover ALL topics, and he was so right!!!!
Spyware and all I had been doing was research for my work, how could that be?
He gave me the URL for this site and told me to browse it and I haven't seen him for a very long long time and I have not had the withdrawals of losing my computer due to malaise and been able to do my work without too much apprehension of spyware.
But I also visit other sites as well, however in closing I must say that I am very pleased to see everything back on line.
Congratulations to the tenacity of administration to get through the storm!!!!!!!

This isn't my first wrangle with spyware; a couple years ago I was stunned to find TSAdbot and DSSAgent on one of my machines, having come in on kids' games I bought in a mall. I studied up on it then, so I wasn't caught completely unaware. I've learned to keep a sharp eye on my Process Viewer, HKLM/.../Run, and other places in the registry.
My first attempts at removal seem not to have been entirely successful, but I read a couple of things I didn't do before (like run the cleaning tools while in Safe Mode) and will have another attack at it.
Failing that, I'll just run Firefox from now on, and try to explain to wife & kids to be sure to do that.

Does anyone research these programs ie (cws,180 solutions and such)?

The reason for asking is because I plan on downloading and examining the code for better solutions and also because i am getting tired of removing this garbage from various peoples computers, thanks and also thanks for the site.

All the recommended protection softwares by SWI are mentioned at this link :
http://www.spywarein...m/downloads.php
So this is an excellent guide to choose and install freeware and/or commercial protection softwares.
Most commercial protection softwares can be replaced by freewares. So don't buy too quickly.
Keep in mind that there are alot of rogue/suspected softwares on the internet and all of them need to be purchased. So watch out.
You can find these rogue softwares at these links :
http://www.spywarewa...nti-spyware.htm
http://www.spyware-r...gue-spyware.php
Most protection softwares are often discussed here, but you have to be a regular visitor at SWI to follow and participate in these discussions and you also can read the older posts of course.
If you have any questions, put your post in an approperiate subforum and qualified helpers and other members will reply

I found SWI forum while I was surfing the Net in order to get rid of some hellish worms. This was completely by chance!

Thanks for your time.

Coolweb and a hidden dll file brought me here . In the past I've been able to get most things off peoples systems but to no avail with that piece of crap, usually ending up telling them to cut their losses and reinstall. When my son called me and said he was having problems I decided it wasn't going to beat me.
I did a Google search for 'coolweb removal' and this is where I ended up. I knew I had to be careful about some sites and free proggies that say they help you so when I got here I spent the better part of four evenings reading and decided this was the place to be.
So,,,after a week of evening phone conversations with my son and with SWI and related links up on my screen we got his machine running fine. Kudos to SWI and it's related links

I am also a big advocate of client security and privacy. Everybody has their favorites but the combination programs I use has been good to me. The three machines we have in our house have been running flawlessly for quite some time. (knock on wood)
Regarding my son, you'd think he'd be more careful knowing the way I am

Thanks everyone.

Got it off Google, searching for "spyware removal".
A great site, with dedicated volunteers.
I joined the old forum and was member somewhere around 300; when I rejoined (couldn't find any trace of my old membership), the membership was well over 2000!
I find it hard to believe the dedication of you guys 'n gals!
Thanks

When I advised the above text to a TS on my homeforum I returned to this site.
When I registered (in april) I had to choose between TC and SWI for classroomatmittance. I am sorry, choose TC then.

Now as a Slyware junior I returned and hope to continuing learning here

i had Adware NaviPromo / MSClock32 which McAfee, Spybot, Adaware and Spydoctor all failed to get rid of.
I had used Hijack This as suggested by a previous user of your site (found via google) and followed your advice in FAQ to delete anything unfamiliar to me and so far, so good
thanks heaps

I stumbled across this site while playing around (from google) and saw the boot camp. I've looked around a little and it looks like a great place.
Hopefully I can learn a lot.
