I have tried everything and having no success. It will not let me run spyware doctor. When I try to go into safemode with networking, it will not let me connect to the internet. Some adivce would be greatly appreciated.

I've done this, tried malware bytes tried spyware doc. I havn't tried windows defender but I am doubting it seeing is how it is a 3rd source.
I've tried spybot.
Any suggestions? God knows I need em.

What if after I use Malwarebytes and it says it is removed and Malware says to restart and I did. Well, after that it came back. As of right now I am not sure so I had spyware doctor as a back up. I am going to run it and see if it works be back soon.

How do I do a system restore?

5. by . 2010-08-11 06:08:54
Quite simple if you don't want to go through that, log off the account that's been hacked get on another administrative account and do a system restore, was about to re-install my whole computer for no reason. =)

I WILL DESTROY who ever made this program

if you find him, find me before you kill him
i wanna watch him/her die

And this is why I'm buying an Apple computer. I think I'd literally take the life of the person that created this program, literally, with my bare hands. I'd make their family watch. This person deserves to die.

this happened to me a few days ago and i followed these instructions and it worked.. but it happened again!! how?? i never clocked on anything, it just installs itself!

9. by Hey. 2010-08-09 14:08:56
I had this same thing on vista, but what I did was to ignore the whole program (don't click anything) and did a system restore. That helped with me.

What a system restore point actually does is backup the registry and system settings.
(Just as Spybot and other spyware things repair the registry)

10. by . 2010-08-08 23:08:00
thanks for this. this happened in my entire department too.

11. by . 2010-08-08 21:08:33
Spybot (freeware) worked for me (my wifes machine) an old Dell using Window XP. It took a while as the scan had to run twice - once from Windows and then since it couldn't remove everything it asked permission to run again on reboot startup.

12. by . 2010-08-08 15:08:59
I actually love you for this page. best advice on the net and got my lapop back to normal, couldn't be bothered paying £40 so did the manual way which worked aswell. thank you!

13. by . 2010-08-08 10:08:30
Don't panic. Start the system in safe mode and run the Spybot Search & Destroy a very small very smart program. It will solve the problem in 10 min. Have fun!

14. by . 2010-08-07 21:08:37
While the initial advise was good, it was misleading because there is no mention of having to purchase the software to solve the problem. And at $39.95 - pretty pricey for a one time fix. I used Spybot Search & Destroy - everything is back to normal.

15. by . 2010-08-07 19:08:40
Thank you so much for this advice. I used AVG instead of Spyware doctor and it worked just as fine. =) I greatly appreciate it your help! You helped me alot, I thought my comptuer was a goner!

16. by . 2010-08-07 16:08:03
A combination of things here helped. I put my laptop into safe mode and done the recommended things but it was still there. A system restore worked, and I am goin to look into decent laptop protection.

17. by . 2010-08-07 14:08:54
For your internet to work, you have unclick the box for the proxy server thing, and press ok.

18. by . 2010-08-07 06:08:05
You are a life saver !!!!!
