Purity Scan has infected my PC ?

Dear Forum,
i have run WebRoots Spy ware sweeper and it found a list of spyware that MicroSofts Anti Spyware has not clean.

can any suggest the best way to rid this programe from my PC.
There is a remaoval tool from the Purity Scan web site it self, though can this be trusted ! ? :confused:

http://www.purityscan.com/uninstall.html

Or is there a manual approach.
Has any body had this problem and Successfully got rid of it.

Many thanks

Never even heard of purity scan so I can't really say whether or not it can be trusted. However, why don't you try Ad-Aware or SpyBot.

I use both and never come across anything that one or the other hasn't been able to shift.

spyware doctor is another good one but it will cost you

i would say go with the uninstall from the purity scan web site first then move onto the spyware removers after if needed

Another vote for adaware and spybot, use those and you wont be Disappointed.

Thanks guys.
i have the Adaware & Spybot programs.
Though this problem is on my work PC, which means i can not load on um authorised software. Even though it is free !
of course i can load it, run it, then uninstall it.
I have even told the IT Dept what is on the infected PC and they can not find it or remove it.
I used the on line scan from Web Roots i think it was. I hope to display the offending programs in my next thread.
Has any one used the Purity unistall program ! ?
If so, did it work ?
Many thanks guys
