PC-Antispyware removal

[captnamo]

After I figured out that my wife's laptop had this annoying malware with constant warnings of the other malware on my computer, I had trouble removing it.  I use spybot search and destroy, and, although it saw the problem and said it fixed it, the annoying red x and pop up windows-looking warnings continued. :shock:

After more research, found a suggestion to turn off xp's system restore.  I tried this, ran a spybot s&d scan and rebooted the PC.  Turned system restore back on.  The bad boy was GONE.
 
So just a post incase you're having trouble removing a known and identifiable malware. :idea:

hello there,
have you tried running antispyware scan while your computer is in safe mode? this may give better results, because most of the malicious processes are inactive in a safe mode, so they don't interrupt with the scan. here's safe mode tutorial : http://www.2-spyware.com/news/post232.html
