Everytime i run Spybot (1.4), It scans and Comes up with ABetterInternet found.
Which includes files like: AbetterInternet.Aurora:dkt2.tmp (dkt3/4/5/6/7)
Located in C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Local Settings\Temp\(dkt2.tmp)
How do i fully get Rid of ABetterItnernet service??

Ive never had this come up till after i reinstalled WinXp few weeks ago.

Thank You.

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

They have a free trial version but you have to get the updates. Microsoft.com has a free Antispyware Beta. When you scan for spyware you should scan in safe mode if your software will run in this mode. Also, clean out all your temp files, cookies, temporary Internet files, etc. MS Antispyware Beta has a tracks eraser module that lets you do this with the clck of a button.

Tho Personally, I dislike M$ Software, Ive had MS AntiSpyware Beta, and really didnt like it. I dont Mind Spybot. Ive got Spysweeper 2.6 and updated tho dont use it. I guess i should keep away from the Sites that Supply Adware/Spyware.

Maybe because they know where all the holes are that let the spyware in!!!

Unfortunately, they also turned it around, and thus are beginning to make it worse.

I keep MS's on a CD and even computers that are helplessly infected turn around after running both programs. For once, MS has done the right thing but I am in the minority. I think XP Pro is one of the best OS's yet. (At least better then those that came before) Usually it's the info inputed that screws the OS up, not the software iteself. It is up to each and every one of us to run AV, Anti-Spyware and firewalls and to practice safe computing. Okay jumping down from my soapbox. Keep up the great work Falcon. You help a lot of people.
