| 321258 | 2005-02-03 22:33:00 | You know how you right click on C drive and hit clean or whatever.. well yea I've done that and it says disk cleaning or w/e and it gets to like 3 bars complete and stays that way, I have left it over night and still same thing.. I can never do it. I've defragmented computer 1000 times and its still same.. Any ideas?? I just want to clean up my computer.. and for those programs when u try to delete and it says "Cannot find INSTALL.LOG" or etc etc something like that, how do I get rid of them? | Slacker (5977) | ||

| 321263 | 2005-02-04 01:20:00 | zimmy, do you mean adware/spyware on your system? If so you will want AdAware www.lavasoftusa.com and Spybot www.safer-networking.org/ for a start. |

| 321264 | 2005-02-04 01:28:00 | I have ad-aware and use it and sbc has an anti spy program, but when i go to c drive program files there are programs galore and i have no idea what most are. I was searching in google to find out what they are but how do i prevent them from getting there to begin with? | zimmy (7136) | ||
| 321265 | 2005-02-04 01:36:00 | How about giving us the name of a few as an example? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 321266 | 2005-02-04 01:41:00 | CONEXANT, Motive, Learn2.com there are more some i know what they are but i did not download them, how else could they get there Also in commom files there is ahead, csshare, mssoap, odbc I use ad-ware and the anti-spy program from sbc yahoo and run symantec anti virus daily. |

| 321267 | 2005-02-04 01:47:00 | zimmy, first step in prevention would be to stop using internet explorer if you are using it now. Switch to Firefox www.mozilla.org, or opera www.opera.com. Microsoft Antispyware (Win 2K, XP & 2003 only) seems good so far and will help prevent these things from installing themselves as will SpywareBlaster www.javacoolsoftware.com |
