Spyware Removal Recommendation

[lefteyewilly]

Ok peeps. I've got this stupid spyware on my computer that redirects websites that i'm on automatically and many times when i click on a google search result, it takes me to a whole nother site entirely...quite a pain in the arse... I can't seem to completely remove it.

I've scanned with AVG, Adaware, Malware Bytes, and Spybot, all with no luck (and in safemode with each).

Anything out there that's truly removing spyware?

You listed all the ones I would think of except this one - Superantispyware

Silver suggested it to me when I had to fix my coworkers computer and it seemed to pick up everything that the others missed.

Also, check your HOSTS file, it's located ~\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\

To be honest, use CCleaner to see if anything is starting up that looks unusual - don't use MSCONFIG - and remove every single damn toolbar that's on the machine.

is this thread your excuse for when coworkers walk on you watching gay porn??

Also Most spyware now changes your internet options to connect through a proxy. so make sure to check that that is not the case here, it caused me a headache for a couple of days.

internet tools->options->connections->lan settings none of those boxes should be checked unless you set something up manually.

Use Kaspersky Internet Security 2010. The best all-in-one antivirus ever. I've been using kaspersky for 5 years now, and forgot about viruses

ESET NOD32 is better. Uses less resources, updates daily.

KIS 2010 updates every hour and is very optimized in comparison to its previous versions
