|
|
Hello,
I've got some spyware/adware on my computer that I can detect, but I can't figure out how to remove them.
They are: adwar.Cydoor, adware.Ncase, adware.Ezula, and adware.NDotNet
I have Kazaa on my computer but I never use it. I'm going to uninstall it now. I know that one or more of these were probably downloaded with Kazaa.
ANy advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle |

Yes, I've used spybot. It's supposed to be the most comprehensive spyware detection and removal system but it fails to remove the one's I've listed. |

Give Ad-Aware a shot. I had cydoor one time and it cleaned it up. Maybe it will do the trick.
Otherwise, you could try deleting their respective folders under c:\program files (if they exist).
Then maybe download a utility like Ace Utilities and use its registry cleaner function. You can find it here for a free 30-day trial at www.acelogix.com I have found it really useful for cleaning out the trash in my registry and hard drive.
Good luck.
