| 324340 | 2005-02-13 19:57:00 | goto c:/windoze/downloaded program files and remove any activex components that you cant identify .............also get ccleaner and run it..........and.......goto c:/windoze/prefetch and delete everythign in there....... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 324341 | 2005-02-13 20:02:00 | None of those folders have anything to do with it Drcspy. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 324342 | 2005-02-13 22:34:00 | really ? in my experience many spyware type of programs and viruses put listings in those places.........activex controls reside in the c:/windows/doenloaded programs folder and similarily put listings in the prefetch folder...... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 324343 | 2005-02-13 22:42:00 | Yup really. This maybe spyware BUT it also installs a program and program files folder. As it says on the Symantec site. |

| 324344 | 2005-02-14 20:18:00 | I cleaned out everything hijack this showed as harmfull. I cleaned out my reg. I scanned my pc over and over again. I have a reg cleaner and ran that. I have removed bargain buddy from the add/remove and it has not shown up in there. But still shows up when I restart. My pc has way to many programs on it to do a total reboot. I will win the battle with bargain buddy it may take forever but sooner or later I will get it out of here. Thanks again so much for all the tips, I have never joined a forum before. I am glad I came across this one. :D |

| 324345 | 2005-02-14 20:28:00 | Did you go to the Symantec site and check the entries in the registry relating to Bargain Buddy? To see if they were still there? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 324346 | 2005-02-14 20:50:00 | I think the posters here are simply using Google. I just tried it and there are heaps of responses to "bargain buddy remove". (Without the quotes). Not that I'm trying to put you off or anything but it's worth having a look yourself but as also pointed out above watchout for malware posing as anti-malware. See if you recognise the sites or forums first. Be wary. You already have a problem. |

| 324348 | 2005-02-14 22:39:00 | Did you go to run \msconfig \ startup and check there also while you are in there look for it in system.ini and win.ini "Fasciinating topic as long as it's on someone else's comp" |
