Spybot Search & Destroy is a good free spyware remover that also gets rid of stuff like what you just experienced. I also has an immunizer utility that blocks a lot of crap from ever being allowed in the PC in the first place.

Spywareblaster is a good one to have and keep updated. While it doesn't "clean" spyware, it's like the immunizer in Spybot, it actively prevents certain crap files from being allowed in your computer.

Adaware is a popular one, but Malrwarebytes seems to have taken over the necessity for it. And you already used Malwarebytes....

If I suspect I have some spyware, I run all 4, between them, at least one of them usually takes care of whatever problem that might have gotten in. Can't speak for my brother though.
Mmkay, thanks for the tips!
I'm gonna download those too, just to be safe in the future

You should also post a HiJackThis log and someone may know how to read it (I do a bit)

Since this topic is about viruses and anti-malware etc.

If you had to pick two out of the three for which is best, which would it be?

NOD32
AdAware
MalwareBytes

I'm curious to know...

Geez, if they're gonna name it after a legit system process (I have 2 csrss.exe instances running and no viruses/spyware etc) at least make it look right. The real thing is run under SYSTEM and not your user, and in English has a description of "Client Server Runtime process"

So, besides AVG, what's another free anti virus that doesnt eat your CPU?

And gonna try the Malwarebytes anti malware thing now.

I use Avira and I haven't had anything negative since.
In combination with CCleaner, my PC's been in great condition.

I've been contemplating MalwareBytes, but I haven't gotten around to it for some reason.

Thanks So Much!!!
