    When I do a complete scan and click to do the recommended actions, delete, then run a new scan, the same damn crap is still being found.
    Am I doing something wrong or has AVG just let this program become less effective than it used to be?
    Thanks.

    Please post here a Scan report log of the AVG Anti-Spyware, so that we can see which threats have been detected.

    gdiloren, please close the Mozilla/Firefox Browser and then scan again with the AVG AS.

    It was already closed. I had to erase with eraser manually the FEBE folder to get rid of Weborama. Manually deleted some cookies in TOOLS\OPTIONS\PRIVACY of FF. Still have to do another complete scan to check if everything was removed. But AVG AS free seems to have problems deleting them (errors). I may had I had renamed the profile in french and that caused an issue with SpywareBlaster not detecting FF. Had to reinstall. FEBE is the backed-up profile (the one with a problem). That may have triggered the error in deleting in AVGAS free. My trial is also expired, by the way.

    AVGAS is now working properly for other deletions. The errors were probably linked with the problem I had with a profile of Firefox named in french with é in it! Something to do also with errors in the registry. Now, everything is solved.
    Thanks!:D
