re: trojans & rogue programs Monday, January 10, 2005 at 12:00 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by joe (7018 messages posted) Noadware is a rogue product, see Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites depending though on what version you have or are trying, (i still wouldn't chance it imo) per rogue list "Note on NoAdware: NoAdware was listed on this page because of concerns with false positives and the use of aggressive, deceptive advertising including exploitation of the name "ad-aware" . Earlier versions of NoAdware were also the same underlying application as Adware Hitman, Consumer Identity, Protect Your Identity, SpyBan, SpywareAssasin, Spyware C.O.P., SpywareKilla, The Adware Hunter, & TheSpywareKiller. Over the past few months, NoAdware has taken aggressive steps to reign in its affiliates (who were primarily responsible for the unsavory advertising) and released a new version of NoAdware (version 3.0) that addresses our concerns with false positves. Given these changes we can no longer regard NoAdware as "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware. (Note: other domains associated with NoAdware include: adware-removal.biz, adwareremoval.net, downloadspybot.com, free-adware-scan.com, sdspybot.com, spybot-spyware.com) " as for the other problems, first you need to start by clear out temp folders (some temp files may still be in use until next reboot) type in search box *.tmp and delete whatever it finds, and if you have one, C:\Documents and Setting\user name\local settings\temp, empty recycle bin, then Disable System Restore and rescan, possibly in safe mode. utilize some online scanners as well such as... Bit Defender RAV ANTIVIRUS SCAN TrojanScan Panda ActiveScan it's some what safer to use then IE do to the fact it does not use ActiveX, finally reenable system restore once clean, use SpywareBlaster 3.2 to help keep some junk off of your system.
