I did the malwarebyte scan after the combofix as you said and it came back with no suspicious items found.
Does that mean we're nearly there?(Angus is my dog, not me ...)0 -
Limewire is a downloading program (usually used to download copyrighted content such as chart music). But plenty of files have trojans etc in too so my advice is to remove it yes (Aside from the fact that if the police or whoever are taking note you could end up in court)
And yes ~ id say your systems clean now
These are not needed but the following 2 programs are good for a general cleanup (computer generally runs a little quicker after using them)
Download CCLEANER (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure YAHOO TOOLBAR is unticked on installation)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)
reboot
Download GLARY UTILITIES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW' ~ UNTICK the ASK toolbar on installation)
http://www.download.com/Glary-Utilities/3000-2094_4-10508531.html
Run the ONE CLICK scan:idea:0 -
Hi alienrik, thank you so much for all your help and patience. Really appreciate the time you gave. :A
I'll remove limewire and do as you suggest regarding keeping the computer clean.
Should I also keep the superantispyware program and run that regularly?
Thanks again(Angus is my dog, not me ...)0 -
Id suggest AGAINT glary utilities actually as somones reported a problem with it just today
Id suggest keeping Malwarebytes and Dupersntispyware:idea:0
