re: Empty Device Manager - fixed by removing spyware Tuesday, November 22, 2005 at 8:37 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by shade (1 messages posted) I had the same problem on a Windows XP PC. Also the following: Opening My Computer took ages. Visiting a web page entered in the address bar took ages. Occasional crashes. No network connection showing in 'Network Connections' window. The PC had loads of spyware, but I had run Microsoft AntiSpyware, AdAware and Spybot, and the problem remained. I then tried Spyware Doctor, which found some extra things, removed them, said it would need to run again in safe mode, and removed some more. All problems now gone. The Spyware it found was: Block-Checker EliteBar MySearch Trojan.Delf.IT TargetSavers SahAgent AproposMedia (in a restore point) Trojan.Crypt.T (in a restore point) Common Components for 180Solutions items (but in a quarantine from another spyware scanner) I am surprised that Microsoft AntiSpyware missed so much, and impressed with Spyware Doctor. Unfortunately you now have to pay to get it to remove stuff, but you can do a scan for free. In future such cases I will be running Spyware Doctor and/or Webroot Spy Sweeper in addition to AdAware, Spybot & MS AntiSpyware.
