HELP! HELP! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

Using Windows ME and Netscape 7.0 on Compaq 'puter. How do I get rid of
this cursed "gain adserve" which is part of the misbegotten Gator
program? This is the culprit on Pop-ups. I go to search, find the
files but when I try to delete I get access denied.

Please give me some help.

Not much use if you have keyloggers on your system.

 

What are you talking about?

 

I have tried trial versions of iOpus starr, SpyAnytime PC Spy and Spector
Pro, neither Spybot or Ad-aware detected these.

The only scanner I have that does is Webroot's Spysweeper, unfortunately it
also found a few false positives. :0(

 

The OP has Gain spyware -- nothing was mentioned about
keyloggers. And if SpyBot S&D doesn't detect those you
mentioned, submit them to Patrick for inclusion.

 

An article in the newest PC Magazine gives an Editors choice nod to a
program called Spy Sweeper 2.2. They rated it above Spybot because it works
better at finding key loggers. Alas it is not free and I haven't gotten
around to trying it yet as it was the first I have heard of it.
The homepage for the product is here:
http://www.webroot.com/

And you can download a trial here:

Cost is $29.95 a year after trial runs out.

Give it a try and post back with a review whether or not it lives up to its
billing.

Many thanks to all. Will try what is advised and let everyone know how it works out.

I thought my subject heading was rather direct and to the point. Member
