When looking this up, I found many entries similar to this [2-spyware.com].  There's removal instructions on that page but it appears that any legitimate anti-malware program should get rid of it.  Most AVs have this built in but 2 that I believe will remove it are Comodo BOClean and Spybot Search & Destroy.

Try booting from disk and using format c:

um thanks, but I'm 19, and my parents died last year in a car reck I stiil need help! I can't open the ctrlaltdel menu!

If that's true, I'm sorry for your loss. However, I find it hard to believe that a legitimate 19-year-old would type as badly as you do, or act like such a damn baby. Pescado has kindly suggested a solution.

[JadeAngel]

thank you, I type badly becuase I'm dislectic, anyway, I'm working on both of those, but if I don't go to sleep soon, I'll pass out, see you tommorow, I'll work somemore on all of your suggestions, thank you!!!!

There's no "19". Only 18.

Ye olde dyslexic call.  It seems to be the excuse of choice for not taking the time to LEARN how to spell.  My flatmates completly dyslexic (he reads things out loud backwards, it really is amazing) yet the man can spell.

Dyslexic does not mean "unable to use spellcheck".

JadeAngel, just take your computer back to the shop and tell them you're too stupid to own it.

I second that.

When I saw that, it immediately became a bunch of buzzing to my virtual ears. For every single observance, she has an excuse. It's Not My Fault Diarrhea. I know plenty of dyslexics. They just take more time to make sure that they get it right and don't look stupid. No excuse.

And where did she get the damn stuff anyway.  Any google search will get you hits on all sorts of legitimate anti-spyware.  This one seems to have downloaded something that was linked on a questionable site without checking anything, and didn't even bother to remember the name of the program.  Given that the system is probably so overloaded with all kinds of malicious crap that was downloaded on a whim, I second the "format c:" solution.

During the time it takes to rebuild the system (assuming she has, and can find, any of her original disks for reloading the OS, programs, etc.) I can visualize a skills bar filling up (a bit at least).

Wow. Playing for sympathy on this board will only get you death threats, JA. If you're going to try to con me at least learn how to do it properly first.

aah, umm.  I had a brain tumour removed about 9 years ago now.  I use that as an excuse all the time, mostly to 'forget' to get in touch with people I don't like, and I certainly play for sympathy.  Is that good enough?  Can I have my hate mail now?

Whining and inventing drama or using real events for sympathy points (tacky) will get you nowhere here.

Try whining to Major Geeks or Bleeping Computer instead.

Or to anyone who cares, really.
