All you have to do is open AdawareSE, click on the padlock icon and then right click on the archive file you want to delete and select delete from the menu.

Run Spy Sweeper. ("try it" links on the right)
It will find spyware that adaware/spybot miss.

vikeor give me the name of the spyware/toolbar your trying to get rid of
-
December 15th, 2004, 01:31 PM #10Run a full system scan. After it finished you should be able to check all the spyware and click "next". It'll then remove everything...

And... if your computer is heavily infested, you might consider just formatting and reloading.

im a big fan of adaware, hijack this. and spybot(spysweeper is trial only) but recently have tried giant antispyware and think its very good. its free and for those who want real time protection that the other apps dont have, its worth giving it a try. link here:

Orphan that son of a bitch toolbar and download Firefox or Opera.
Your only other option is to format and reinstall if you cant ID it.Also try Hijack this to view everything in startup that should ID it for you.Last edited by pphalan; December 15th, 2004 at 02:32 PM.

I worked on a system with the same problem, Spybot S&D or Ad-aware removed it, I just can't remember which one did.
