Spywareblaster

that seems to be more for preventing adware... i'm looking for something to get rid of it!

Adaware + Spybot + Hijackthis + Spywareblaster = win.

it you can't get rid of it with that lot, you should post the problem.

prevention is better:

RegistryProt 2.0

kept spyware off many a PC,
also helps while you are cleaning your PC of infection

I find a combination of Ad-aware and Spybot search and destroy works well. I haven't tried Windows Defender yet.

Dev2 would check that sig size if i were you!!

Anyway back OT, i've only ever used Ad-Aware and Spybot Search+Destroy and i've never had any problems
