After you've scanned with Lavasoft, run a scan with PestPatrol or SpyBot and you'll still find plenty of stuff on the computer. The big problem is getting rid of the nastiest malware ever: Vista. Everything you do on the computer and everywhere you in cyberspace go is tracked and reported back to Redmond. Luckily, as nasty as it is, it is easy to get rid of. Install XP, Linux or even Windows 2000 and your problem is solved. Unless you got suckreed into buying a new computer. Then you are SOL as some of the new hardware has no drivers for previous versions of Windows OS. This is, of course, by design. For your protection, of course. |
