ok srry for the caps, i didnt knw it was a big deal here, srry, but yea im very happy, it even got rid of spyware from 2002. so its pretty kool,

HEY AS OF TODAY I AM ADWARE AND SPYWARE AND TROJAN WARE FREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK HERE IS WHAT I USED, I DOWNLOADED ADWARE SPY AND I SCANNED MY PC, ALL THE OTHER SOFTWARE I USED, ONLY DETECTED 3 OR 4 I EVEN USED AVG SHREEDER ALL OF THEM, THEY DIDNT WORK, I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD A TROJAN I WENT INTO SAFE MODE I DELETED THAT, THEN I SCANNED IT WITH ADWARE SPY AND IT FOUND 300 I THEN FIXED IT OR REPAIRED THEM, AND I RESTARTED IT, AND NO ADWARE. IM VERY HAPPY NOW THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP AND YOUR TIME ON HELPING ME

ok on one pop its called aurora, here is the website they tell me to go to uninstall it, can some one check it out and see if the steps are safe, so i dont accidently mess up my pc, the web site is www.MyPCTuneup.com/aurora here is a copy of the pop up were it says Click here to uninstall

no it didnt work, i still get popups and my computer is driving my nuts, i feel like throwing it away. and i dont wanna format my pc either. i tried xoftspy and so far it took some out that other adware didnt detect, but there is something funny happening, while its scannin the cpu is at 100% and then after like 2 min it shuts down, and before it shuts down the fan goes wild its loud. i dont knw what wrong.

ok i tried all of that, and guess what when i did the scan in safe mode it detected nothing, so i just restarted it and a lot of popups came out, and i did a scan and it found like 5 one was: shopathome popup searches trojan/combo aurora and the other one was a tracking cookie

ok ill try that right now.

ok ill try all of that right now, but one more thing what is safe mode, what does it do??

were can i get webroots, and how can i scan from safe mode. and i dont wanna format my pc, cause i have too much music that it would take me a lot to back up all that.

i tried adware personal from lavasoft it detects them but the spyware keeps coming back everytime i restart my computer

ok i was using my computer when i was downloading a program, i tried to open it, but it never did, so then all of a suddent my antivirus starts going off, saying would you like to install this, which is a severe risk hazerd, and i put remove. then sfter a while i restarted my computer, and i ran a scan for spyware, and it found a lot, you would think that it deleted them, NOPE pop ups began to pop up. i dont knw what to do, one virus is called shopathome and the other one is called classified 47 something, im not sure. any programs that will delete that sucker. this is a list of programs that i have used to delete the virus or spyware: norton internet security spykiller noadware bugdoctor ccleaner scan software microsoft anitvirus adware personal

hey so why dont ehy put it back, cause people that have dial up it takes them longer than other ppl with broadband, and for dial up ppl get really bored just seeing the bar move very slowly, so it would make it more interesting to see how there speed changes and how low it actually gets. plus its KOOL

ok i was thinking when ur doing download tests, on the bar it says like 20 then 50 then like 100 percent done, well now i think you guys should put the speed of ur download rate as it does the test so u get an idea, on how fast ur connection starts, to how low you end up
