Spyware/Adware Problems

Anubis · **Posted:** November 15th, 2005, 4:08 am

Grr. My brother keeps downloading things which contain adware and spyware onto the comp.

Stuff like P2P networking that comes with Kazaa Wont uninstall. (I get the "P2P networking has encountered a problem and needs to close..." etc)

I keep getting pop-ups while playing runescape, when im not in an internet explorer window, and when i click on any hyper links.

Whenever I open up an internet explorer window I get a large-ish blue tool bar at the bottom of the screen which acts as a search engine.

I have 3 pop-up blockers which DONT WORK.

I have 3 anti-adware/spyware programs which dont 'see' the malicious programs that are giving me this stuff.

Yes, I have many many problems and I need help without completely wiping the hard drives. Any suggestions?

well for starters you might want to put a password on the internet so your brother cant do anymore stupid things with it. second stop playing rs until this is revised.try reading through this post on my forums for good antispyware programs (I would highly suggest downloading avg free, spybot s&d, microsoft antispyware and zonealarm) For the internet bothers try useing the maxthon browser its good at keeping popups and other things down.

jw but is your brother older or younger?
