"Know what I have to say to that? Go suck a ****!" Group: Members Posts: 8380 Member No.: 2150 Joined: 5-June 06 Status: (0d)	Norton's (lol Norton okay?) detected two spybots. They happen to be the same one, but Norton can't get rid of them. Anyone know of a really really good spyware/bot removal program? Thanks in advance. --------------------

Helpful

Sorry

Try removing it manually with an administrator account or something on Add/Remove programs.

I removed everything I installed from within a week from when Norton detected it.

But I want to be extra sure, so I want to find a really good program and scan again.

ITT CATZ!!! Group: Members Posts: 1425 Member No.: 3802 Joined: 21-May 07 Status: (0d)	You need to use a good program like spybot, which is built for the removal of spyware: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html Install and update it> go to advanced mode > settings > settings and tell it to run once when your PC next starts. That should usually sort most minor malware. If not, the staf on their forums will hapily help you if you post a log using a program called Hijack This! -------------------- http://steamcommunity.com/id/hazmeister

AVG is a pretty damn good anti-virus/ anti-spyware software and its free.

I heard somewhere that AVG will mess with Norton?
Is this true?

Pretty much this. Norton is a horrible anti-virus.

My parents wouldn't dream of it.
My cousin who's a computer "expert" told them that Norton is the best.
