FREE Spyware Removal - Jun 05, 2004 20:34
Does anyone know where I can get rid off all this spyware crap for free? All I can find is free spyware scans but then I have to pay to remove them. If anyone knows how to get rid of it for free, that' d be great.

Have you tried Adaware or Spybot: Search and Destroy?

Nope. Think you could give me a link to a site? My computer is just going crazy now... Google won' t work at all and I can' t watch any videos.

That sounds like it may be more than just spyware. If you don' t have any anti-virus software you might want to get AVG. It' s free and works great.

Okay, thanks you two. The programs found 34 virus and 333 spyware related files... and my computer is still messed up. I wonder if a complete System Restore will help at all?

Edit: I forgot to mention this before, in the address bar (in the regular IE Explorer) every site has http://ehttp.cc/? before the regular address, eg. http://ehttp.cc/?www.kikizo.com. It' s obvious that this is one of the problems with my copmputer... anyone know what the problem could be and how to get rid of it?

Holy cow, you found heck of a lot of stuff on your computer! It' s amazing the amount of crap that can be distributed through the internet onto your computer now...it' s like a whole nother breed of spam mail.[:' (]

I' ve never seen the new problem you are describing, sorry. I' d be interested in a solution once you find one for future reference though.
