GAH! FLIPPIN' SPYWARE!

Post by tallman_house_pictures »

this flippin spyware installed its self in program files on my computer (its called ebatesmoneymaker0). My spy ware program detects it and I hit delete but it won't delete.

I manually went into program files and deleted it and it told me "Acsess denied" what the flip? Its my own flipping computer!

SO I deleted some of the other files in the folder, they leave for a few secs and then just apear agian. I see them in the recycleing bin and delete them but they appear in the same folder as they were.

HELP!!! How do I get rid of this??!?!?!?!?!?

:o seems like you have yourself a piece of nasty spyware.
Did you try going into the control panel > Add or remove programs and delete it from there?

Make sure your anti-spyware is updated. Also, if it won't delete any critical files, try deleting the folder the spyware is in. You can maybe even delete that program and re-install it later to see if the delete takes the spyware with it.

sometimes a simple system restore to a date pre-spyware will remove the problem.

Reboot to safe mode, then run your spyware removal tool. Also try the MS anti spyware beta and Adaware in combo, but these types of self protecting programs need to be removed in safe mode. Also some you may need to remove the registry entry for tham manually from
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/run
