I've run all the anti-virus/spyware/adware/trojan blocker software that is usually
recommended (upgraded/dated and configured): Spybot, HijackThis, Norton Systemworks,
and Blockers with my ISP (earthlink). Searched and combed my computer (including
registry) for anything and everything that even remotely resembles .dll/exe files
and anything that could possibly be associated with the following: PeopleOnPage(trojan),
WildTangent(sysmonadware), and Atdmt, bluestreak, double click(cookies).
Here is where it started:
http://www.earthlink.net/spyaudit/
I ran this (due to 'funny' and slow actions on puter) and it came up with the above
listed culprits.
At some point I remember having agreed to the wildtanget, but have since removed
*or thought I had* removed it. The other three I have NO idea where they came from.
I uninstalled and reinstalled (required due to prior installation of spybot i think)
my ISP spyware blocker (since my ISP provided the online
test) and that didn't get it so I downloaded the Spybot and HT...still no progress.
Found these instructions for removal: http://www.pchell.com/support/peopleonpage.shtml
but I didn't register(that i'm aware of) and can find zero files related to it.
I've tried the instuctions (most are pretty consistant) here to get rid of the others.
I also did the EIFIX.reg to hopefully restore a few things to default. None of
this has worked.
System is VERY slow, fonts (online) are messed up, and a few options that 'seem'
to be unrelated are just acting funny (would take way too long to describe here).
Does anyone have an idea of what info I am missing that I can't get rid of these
last couple of things that are bugging the canola out of me?
Thanks,
Angela
PS..carl ...no matter what ...if you should respond to this one..i promise i won't
get upset again ;)
