| 684166 | 2008-07-01 04:02:00 | Hi One and all After spending the last 3 hours getting "Win Spyware Protect" removed from my brother in laws lappie, I am left with one issue. In/on the Task Bar, beside the clock is showing in the following format "15:14: VIRUS ALERT" If I turn of the clock feature. Right click Task Bar - Properties-Notification area and untick "Show clock" the "15:14: VIRUS ALERT" disapears, but then of course No Cloclk If you retick this selection, the "15:14: VIRUS ALERT" is back. Does anyone have any ideas where this last vestige of the Spyware/ Virus may be hiding Cheers |

| 684168 | 2008-07-02 07:56:00 | Hi Guys Just spent some more time on this issue Removed Nod 32 as the problem seemed to be imbedded in there some how. I then loaded AVG Pro and ran this. It found several references to SPYWARE and then removed them. The problem posted went away. I have since run SMITFRAUD as suggested and this found a couple of issues in registry. Have rebooted and run both AVG Pro SMITFRAUD and all seem to be clean. Thanks HH |
