Imbedded spywares

[firebowl58]

I have done the final items you suggested. Are there any other programs I should run other than these? I use Avira for anti-virus and Super antispyware and Spybot. I also have Advanced Complete Care by IObit, which seems to do a good job checking for spyware, malware and cleaning up the computer. Can these be used together. I use Zonealarm for my firewall which seems to do a good job. Any other suggestions other than what you have sent would be nice, but not necessary if these will do the job.

I would like to really thank you for your assistance. I have another computer in the household that has some serious spyware/malware issues. Do you want to tackle that one or should I just put it out there for others to help with. Can I use the same procedures for it?

Let me know and you take care and thanks again.

Super antispyware and Spybot. I also have Advanced Complete Care by IObit, which seems to do a good job checking for spyware, malware and cleaning up the computer. Can these be used together.

Yes. The only thing you shouldn't use more than one of is an AV program and a Firewall. Super antispyware and MBAM are not full-time scanners unless you buy them. But, they're good to have on your computer. Update them and run them on  regular basis.

I have another computer in the household that has some serious spyware/malware issues. Do you want to tackle that one or should I just put it out there for others to help with. Can I use the same procedures for it?

Sure. Start another thread and post the information. It's not a good idea to use the same procedures because no two computer porblems are similar.
I will lock this thread. If you need it re-opened, please send me a pm.
