Recently ive been getting a lot of popup ads eventhough i have an IE popupkiller. A search bar call "Road Ball Safe" has been installed to my IE as well. I downloaded Spybot S&D and AdAware in hopes of getting rid of this searchbar and the popups. I ran both and deleted the infected files they came up with. But the problem persisted. SO i downloaded a progam called NoAdware v2.0. It scanned my system and came up with a load of bad files/trojans. Because im only using the unregistered version i have to manually delete the files by going to teh locations it supplied me with, such as C:\\WINDOWS\System32\wtcpl.cpl But then there are other locations that are : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\classes\clsid\{8734......7df} Or even a location as simple as "lop" or "Gator" How can i delete these files? If they are remote can they be purged? Thanks alot -daf
Hi daf89, and welcome. It sounds like you still have some spyware on your computer. Could you follow the instructions Here. Since you already have Spybot S&D and AdAware, skip to step 2 for instructions on downloading HijackThis and posting a log. Do not fix anything in HijackThis yet, most of what it will list will be harmless. Wait until someone has had a chance to review it and they will advise you what to delete, and how. Regards, snap
What you have described is a LOP toolbar, that always installlls along with a load of other rubbish, so please follow Snapdragon's advice and post a log in the Hijack forum The No adware program is not efficient and has a lot of false positives, I would never reccomend it.
