SpySpotter or SpyBotter keeps popping up saying new programs are running on my pc and shouldI block or allow. This so called security software installed itself and I cannot uninstall it no matter what I do. I go to control panel to get rid of it but it says cannot open install.exe. I defrag, get rid of temp files, run Mc affee on it and restart my pc but it KEEPS coming back. How on earth DO I get rid of this nuisance? |

Many thanks to GTO re how do I get rid of spyspotter. The HijackThis program download was successful and got rid of that pain. At least I HOPE so, it seems to of gone but I'll know for sure later when I open a new site. Thanks again.
So a message to fish who has the same problem, try GTO's help. The program will ask what you want it to do once dowloaded. I just went to the box that says, 'Do nothing,just open this program' It'll warn you about what you are about to do then come out with a list of programs you wan't to get rid of. Scroll down quite a way then you'll see the SpySpotter file. Check the square, confirm that you wan't rid and there you go. I really hope this works. Up to now I'm still nuisance free but I'm gonna re start my pc now and see what happens. |
