Did you run "check for updates" before you ran the check?
When you get software installed...there's usually a bunch of patches out by the time it gets on your computer.

Make sure you get the latest updates to Windows.
I had the same problem, but after I updated Windows and ran Spybot, most of it went away.
Check out PCHell.com also, they have alot of info on this kind of stuff.

I've never paid more than $22 for Norton's Systemworks Professional. All you get is the disk and one years updates (Just reinstall after one year for more updates) but who need the box and manual anyway?
2003 for $10 (http://www.pricegrabber.com/user_sal...a68cfe67e927b8)
Forgot to add, you may be hosed if you run a spyware removal program and it has also hijacked your winsock. You won't be able to connect to the internet. I'll let the Pros tell you how to fix it.
Buy a brand new computer to start fresh! And then never log on to HB or RRL. There are too many links to porn!
I haven't found 1 program that does everything but by using the ones listed below I do not get any spam, ads, unwanted e-mail, pop-ups, etc. NOTHING !
I don't have any problems with any of my banking, open accounts, etc., HOWEVER by using all of the programs in conjunction with each other- the only thing that doesn't come through - I'm gonna catch heck for this- is Rex 1's ads on the opening page of HB.
If I mistakenly get into a porn site, and it looks interesting, I can browse it all day long and as soon as I exit said site, IT"S GONE ! Never to reappear.
I don't know anything about computers so it can't be this hard.
This is on Windows XP Pro.
AdAware 5.0
Ad Subtract
Norton Anti-spam 2004
Norton Antivirus
The Norton and Windows have built-in firewalls.
Then disconnect Windows messenger service.
For your e-mail, open outlook express, click on tools, click on message rules, make your own rules, block whom ever, or block certain words, etc.
This doesn't preclude the machine(s) from much of any other function, such as prevent it from downloading whatever you want, sending or receiving pics, files, it doesn't mess with any other machine on the network, I can even log in to another computer to play games with the IP address. ( it's called screw with the mods mind).
If you find that this doesn't work for you let me know as I haven't run across any problems yet.
Oxnard-it's a place!

There were a few unwanteds that kept reappearing on my system despite using add/remove program, AVG and Ad-Aware. One of the programs I use recommends turning off system restore, running the program and then once the virus or other unwanted is taken care of turning the system restore back on. This worked for me. If yours is on maybe you could try that and run the programs again to see if it changes the outcome.

Unless we keep a log.
