I'm highly pissed!!! Friday I accidently clicked on a Hotbar ad, and began downloading a bunch of shit! I tried to stop the download, but it wouldn't respond. I was able to delete most of it, but there are still some Program Files and Documents that I can't get rid of. I send them to the Recycle Bin, delete them from the Bin, and they just reappear. Or I get the Access Denied or Disc Space Full messages when I try to delete them. I sent an email to Hotbar - they responded by sending me an email with no body, but a HUGE attachment. Which of course I deleted unread. Any ideas? Thanks, guys. THIS BULLSHIT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! |

Whole bunch of spyware killers here. [url]http://www.spychecker.com[/url] Usually deleting them isn't enough and you have to go into the Windows registry (regedit.exe) to delete the keys. There were times I found stuff in the registry that shouldn't have been there and the Spyware software didn't detect it. |

Get a copy of Ad-Aware as well as Search & Destroy. Both are freeware you can find at various sites on the Net. Download & install both, then run the update option while online to make sure you have the latest definitions. Then run both, one after the other. S&D seems to catch stuff that Ad-Aware missed. Both are great tools to have. J |
