It say's it deleted the 4 that it found, then I go to Virus Vault, and there's 4 there...delete them again..?

correct, AVG and Norton are both antivirus programs, but you'll have to pay $ for Norton.

Edit: once in the vault, they are harmless, delete them if you wish.

Byteman, have AIM? MSN?

Byteman · 06-10-2005, 12:22 AM

no.

Try and follow the removal instructions substituting Norton with AVG. Also, you may want to install the Microsoft Antispyware, update it and have it run a full scan as well.

Link? Is it free? And I even bought that Spyware Doctor for a year..guess it was a waste of money.

No, not a waste, it's generally a good idea to have a couple anti-spyware programs. MS is free, download it here:

doesn't really matter which one, hopefully the one nearest where you live. I have to sign off for a while... Anymore questions, maybe buzz1927 can help answer.

Hello.
