I've finally admitted defeat every time I scan it and it is clean go to IE and off we go again scan and it found at least 5/6 instances of adware, then something it stopping the windows update service, everytime I start it it stops itself again for no rhyme or reason, then IE is so fuckin slow as well.

Just going to be a damn site easier I reckon to re-build, the only annoying thing is I'll lose all my emails as I don't think there is any program that can backup your inbox (unless anyone knows of anything ?)

That's my weekend sorted...and the Mrs moaning I spend more time on the computer than with her  Shocked

Two points (that have already been made):

Why are you persisting in using IE then complaining about pop-ups, security holes etc?
Why aren't you using Spybot S&D or Hitman as others have advised? Adaware doesn't catch a fraction of what they do

And apologies if you've already answered those in the rest of this thread. Life's too short and all

I recommended Adaware after PTP ran Spybot and said it didn't catch everything.

I like nice things and I like IE.....it is usually fine but I do take your point..irelevant now as the comp is shagged !

And I have been using spybot also but that was not finding anything either and then it was again

And Si Pi I do work in IT but the useless gits I work with know nothing so it is always good to talk to others who are actually knowledeble who may come up with something I have not thought of....there's been a few good ideas

I just found it quite ironic that someone who works in IT wouldn't scan something from the internet, least at all a dodgy download.

I know very silly.....for some stupid reason I thought it would be fine as I had downloaded stuff from there before and it had been fine.

Taught me a very harsh lesson that's for sure..won't be making that mistake again !
