Spyware, can't Ctrl Alt + Del

red11 · 22 Mar 2006 at 21:59

I've had internet explorer windows popping up for the last few days, I've updated Norton Antivirus 2006, Spybot, SpywareBlaster and Ad-Aware and ran scans and they found nothing. I'm a Firefox user so I thought it was a little strange.

Ctrl, Alt + Del has been disabled, it won't allow me to view processes to end what I am 100% certain is Spyware. Is there another way of viewing the processes so I can end the process?

Wintasks or a program simular to it

cheers, I'll give that a go

well the process was called.....wait for it.....trojan.exe

I mean why did I pay for Norton when it doesn't even pick up a process called trojan.exe that pops porn windows all over my desktop! :rolleyes:

Well it's gone now at least

I'll have a look, Norton is bloody useless. Cheers for the suggestion.

Edit @ Nevermind, found it, but it's supposedly been disabled by administrator, damn pesky spyware!
