I have a problem w/ adware on my computer.  I have Windows XP for my O/s and Norton Anti-virus 2004.  I have run several system scans, and more than 20 adware files are found.  However, Norton is unable to delete them and my attempts at deleting them manually have also failed.  How do I get RID OF THEM??!!

Thank you very much for your time!

Get a program such as Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoft.de - Free Trial)

or Spybot  (http://www.safer-networking.org/ - Freeware (I believe)

These programs are more sophisticated and can check the memory (At startup) before the Adware can load it's self into your memory and give Norton (Or anything else that's not specifically designed to remove Ad/malware) a hard time removing it.

Good luck in your endeavours..
