SpySheriff

I was wondering if anyone had ever had this spyware on their computer, and if so how did they remove it?

I've ran spybot S&D which initially picked it up but it failed to delete it as apparently it was still being used. So I ran spybot as startup but it still didn't delete it. I then ran Adaware which didn't seem to pick it up so I ran spyboy again and it was still there!

I tried to google a fix but a lot seemed to involve downloading dodgy software that I don't trust anymore than the intial spyware or deleting reg keys, which again I'm not to keen on doing unless I know what they do and it is safe.

The process is not running in task manager as far as I can see and it's not in my add/remove list.

Anyone give me a difinitive answer?

That's one of the other problems I have. I currently use an apple bluetooth keyboard that uses SP2 as the bluetooth drivers, and therefore they don't load until windows starts. Is there anyway to get into safe mode with out using my keyboard or do I need to borrow a wired one from someone?

Also, I'm assuming Vista doesn't solve this problem does it and I'd still need to use a wired one if I wanted to do anything in the bios?

While I'm here I may aswell ask if anyone knows if Vista includes bluetooth drivers as part of the install?
