What's up?

Am getting lots of spyware-remove with adaware-a few days later, it's back.

same types of pop-ups and other garbage. i don't surf garbage sites that would install such things on my computer (besides, I have my internet security set high)

i am thinking that the problem is in Overnet, seeing as how I am nota registered user.

you think?

excuse me if there has already been a thread like this before. too tired to search...

post the file and directory found or reg key associated with this.

Sounds to me like you GAINed more than you barGAINed for

er, are you getting a html popup that says you have spyware? that is something totally different. there is a shit program that runs in background and sends a html popup (it doesnt always look like a html page) that says it detected spyware on your computer. the one is saw was yellow. it tries to install its own shit. 'drive by downloads' it does.

i get all freakymad about spyware stuff, progs i use frequently are
webroot windows washer
webroot spysweeper
spybot pro search and destroy
spycop
anti trojan 5.5
trojan hunter
tiny trojan trap(lets u see what files are accessing what-dll files, etc)
Diagnose Windows
lavasoft ad aware


i use these pretty much every day constantly.
-bluetack blocklist manager
bluetack.co.uk
this updates peerguardian and a shitload of other bad ip/spyware/ads
-surf in peace
this lets u really fine tune the popups you want blocked. if u want my popup list, i can post it and its easy to add to surf in peace.

easy editing of your registry, u can ditch the extra crap, like timelimits on registering progs,spywareshit. may not want to mess with your registry if u dont know what your doing.


the '-' are freeware, great progs.

Yeah, that's what it is.

I am thinking that it's Overnet seeing as how I'm not a registered user.

Ah well, I am gonna switch to mIRC. Faster download speeds, more files.

mirc has it's own set of problems.
i avoid it.
err, most the spycrap can be removed with the above progs.
i hope you use a firewall, if not you should.

overnet only has spyware if u specifically check the boxes to install during installation, else it is just adverts
