Further to that advice, to clean your OS from the spyware, download CWShredder from
http://www.spychecker.com/program/cwshredder.html, Spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download
and Adaware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/. Run them while offline and in SAFE
boot mode. Delete the red entries that Spybot displays. Reboot. To prevent further
infection of spyware adjust the following:- In IE go to Tools, Internet Options,
Advanced tab and uncheck Enable Install On Demand for both IE and Other. Then click
the Privacy tab, click Advance button. Tick:- Overide automatic cookie handling,
Accept First-party Cookies, Block Third-party Cookies, Always allow session cookies.
Click Ok, Ok. Finally, download SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard from http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html,
install them and your OS will be spyware proof. You can verify this by running either
Spybot or Adaware after an internet session. They will come up with a clean bill
of health. Of course you need to frequently look for updates for all of the above
mentioned software.
