I haven't heard that before. Be sure you have the most recent Shredder version. It's
updated very frequently. Try downloading a fresh copy of both the SmartKiller and
Shredder. Then try again. Be sure to close all browser windows and run them "offline".
If it still doesn't work, download and run Spybot first. Reboot. Then give it another
go. We can use HijackThis if necessary.
I hadn't advised you to clear out your TIF and other temps also. Go to Control Panel
- Internet Options. Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files,
choose to delete all Offline content. In Settings, set the size of your TIF folder
between 5 - 10 MB. Choose View Objects tab. On the toolbar, choose View Details.
If any of those ActiveX Controls are marked "damaged", remove them. Any and all ActiveX
Controls, can be safely removed. They'll be downloaded again as needed. To uninstall,
right click and Remove. You may want to keep those by MS, Macromedia or Apple.
Also, go to Start - Find - Files or folders - in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose
Edit - select all - File - delete. Empty the contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder
and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Empty Recycle bin.
Download Spybot S&D Close all running programs, install then reboot.
Start it and go online and press 'search for updates' tab. (NOTE: if you have problems,
select the US or Australian mirror site to download updates from). Download all updates
that aren't optional. Close all browser windows and run the scan. When it's finished,
'Check All', and fix everything SpybotSD labels in RED. Reboot.
