    You can do something like this.

    I did it.

    Go to task manager ------> Processes

    Then you have select the process which is the Spyware.

    You can go to program files folder & search for what the file is.

    Then in the processes window right click on that exe file ----> End Process Tree

    Then you have to go to program files and delete the folder.

    100% sure.

    Don't want any software.
    :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:




    No Alaya , the new generation of spyware builders are far smart than us.:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

    You cant just end it s process in the task manager coz there is a timer like thing which activate this adware or spyware again, every time I close it, another .exe program opens automatically so the last .exe file of this adware cannot be deleted like that :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:


    If you wanna try this activex control I can tell you the website 2 download it ;)

    This is probably a type of spyware. Its a adware which keeps naggin u about something!! (Hate 'em all!). So what u should do is (as everyone has mentioned) INSTALL A ANTI-SPYWARE SOFTWARE. Windows Defender is kinda good! But not that much! I personally have installed both Ad-Aware and SpyBot search and destroy! I even read in a magazine that when u both the guards, it yields effective results!!

    I'm with Windows Defender because it comes with Vista. Otherwise I would be using Ad-aware. Either way, malicious stuff hardly sneaks into my system ;)
