Your idea of the best anti-spy software, doesn't tell us much either. It could be rogue, for all we know. In fact, don't run the SpyHunter program another poster linked you to. For starters, check Add/Remove for anything suspect you don't recognize as having installed yourself. Uninstall it/them if possible, unless you're unsure. Clear out all temp folders, etc. for all users with CCleaner. CCleaner. Before running the scan, click Options and specify any Cookies you don't want removed. Uncheck the box that says, "don't remove temp files less than 48 hrs. old. Download, install and update MalwareBytes' anti-malware... run a scan.. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware If you still have issues, register and post on one of the following malware removal forums. Before posting, follow their preliminary cleaning steps. *Post on only ONE forum.

You said you used the best, but to who's standards? Have you tried Malwarebytes or Superantispyware? On Friday, May 1, 2009 at 7:15 am, RD Thompson wrote: >I cannot stop Casamedia.. can you?

It's SpyHunter, which was previously on the list of Rogue anti-malware apps. It, and any others like it, should be avoided. This is the main reason it's best not to advise users on malware issues, if you're not very well informed on the topic. That can cause even worse problems, and rip people off besides.

Many malicious sites are hoping people do just that - please don't make their life easier ! Thanks [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: relenting malware Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 5:37 am Posted by RD Thompson (3 messages posted) I appreciate all the comments.. rest assured I will not jump on new offers to buy something. I have both Malwarebytes and superantispyware. I use Avast as anti virus. I ran Superantispyware yesterday afternoon [after a round of golf] and the list of invasions exceeded the form. Not to say I have tried every thing yet I have removed all cookies.. I have cleaned and re cleaned. I have removed about every program other than those necessary to operate. This casalemedia stuff is the worse I have ever encountered. My system is extremely slow to come up [foxfire and outlook].. once up and running both seem to operated normally. I am going to take the advice of one that recommended I drop in on another forum. I thank each of you for the advice.. what ever you do .. do not go near any site this casalemedia might be.. I am sure the anti virus and spy folks will find a way soon to sort it out. rdt. On Friday, May 1, 2009 at 6:40 pm, Johnb33 wrote: >What software are we talking about?
