netclnc.exe

Has anyone ben able to sort out this problem using adaware, spybot or other. My [free] version of adaware could not even spot the problem. Also my mcafee cannot locate problem [new virus sigs downloaded], although it spots the viruses being produced. I have made sure all MW fixes in place as well.

The symptoms are that the netclnc.exe uses up 90% of CPU and seems to be sending huge amounts of data over internet!

I will buy anti-spy version that will remove this trojan, but which one?

You guys mentioned programs that scan, detect, and delete spyware.
But not programs that will prevent you from getting the malicious content.

Here are a few of them that I recommend:

Spyware Preventers
SpywareBlaster - The best free preventer in my opinion. Freeware.
Spybot - S&D - Includes a preventer. Freeware.
Ad-Aware Professional - Pro version includes a preventer. Not Freeware.
Spy Sweeper - Scanner/Preventer. Not Freeware.
PestPatrol - Scanner/Preventer/Anti-Trojan. Not Freeware.

i recommend SpyHunter....works wonders....picked up stuff ad-aware was unable to pick up.


i also run "Weatherbug" as i installed it with AIM, but have not noticed any type of ad's being shown etc. ? Should i look for something, just ran a full scan with Spyhunter, but only came up with some "cookies", about "7" and it deleted them.

For specific questions please start a new thread
Because this one is stickied it doesn't 'float' to the top of the forum list so may not be noticed.

BAD ADVICE!!! Just look at spyhunter's reviews on download.com.

Stay away from spyhunter!!! Go with Spybot S&D and Adaware instead.

I bet they'll find stuff from that weatherbug junk real quick, along with the junk from spyhunter. Spyhunter isn't even free!

Adaware scans for spyware, adware, tracking cookies, etc....


Also make sure you download the new Adaware SE.

Timing is everything... had I found this forum prior to investing/blowing $29.95 on another spyware removal app (Webroot SpySweeper) perhaps this weeks grief would be less intense in flavor!
