I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site). -
Pop-up adsOriginally posted by Oerdin
Arghhh! They're back! I'm still getting those stupid pop up ads, I run both Spybot & Ad-ware, they both say I have several parasites, they both say the computer is now clean, I reboot, and the Parasites are back again!!!

. Banners are at least easily ignored.
As for cookies & spyware that keep reappearing, try this site if you're using IE; it will populate your "Restricted Sites" list with a very lengthy list of the known junkpushers of the internet, preventing them from setting cookies, downloading ActiveX controls, etc, to your machine (as long as you keep your "Restricted Sites" security setting to High or better). Since I started using it, I've noticed almost no unknown tracking cookies being set on my machine

I've downloaded and installed the list so hopefully the parasites are gone for good.

Here's another good site.

Some of the worst offenders are dialer.exe, Cydoor, Gator Corp, and Xupiter. All of the above either cause pop-ups on your desktop, crap to clutter your email or ****ty random pop ups while surfing the net or on startup. Such as Dialer, which I had the pleasure of fighting it (thanks to asher who told me how to get rid of it). Every 30 seconds Dialer.exe opened a new window and attempted to Dial a long distance number. I had to cancel it everyime...rather annoying. Deleting it did no good, it just re-constructed itself x 2. Spybot at the time didnt pick it up either.
Anyway another kind is moderate. Ipinsight,Ezula, etc..these guys track your movements and tailor to your advertiseing interests.
Cookies are fairly Harmless. Delete them anywayComment

Gator Corp...you know, I always thought that evil corporations were appropriately named only in cartoons and bad movies...No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

hi ,
something to remember
in order to remove programs who are removed out of your software list but are still there ( and can reopen themselfs ) type "regedit" start , execute and go to HKEY_LOACL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \Windows\CurentVersion\ Uninstall with that you can remove doubtfull entries manually
in order to remove programs you dont want who come back try this ; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\windows\cure ntversion\run
btw there is a huge difference between ad aware and spybot , spybot encrypts them , ..... so if a virus is stuck most scanners overlook this , ......

Two scans and two reboots latter the devil has yet to show his face again. I'm thinking "download plus" was the culprate.
it does pop an add up every few days, though"I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

Care to restate that? I don't have a clue what you're trying to say there."If you doubt that an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters would eventually produce the combined works of Shakespeare, consider: it only took 30 billion monkeys and no typewriters." - UnknownComment

spybot encrypts the files it finds , .... now if there is avirus or someone taking advantage of this ( the encrypted files ) most virus scanners overlook this , .....
ad-aware does no such thing

^ I've never read in any of the Spybot documentation that it does any encryption whatsoever. Not on their website, not in user reviews, not in their help files, nothing.

panag, I still don't follow what you're trying to say. I just read another half-dozen articles about Spybot, and still no mention anywhere of encryption. I've used this program for quite some time myself, removed some tracking cookies with it, and what Spybot does, is place the affected files in .zip files within its "Recovery" folder in case you want to recover them later (say, if you've broken an application that's relying on ad-ware). Zipping isn't encrypting, though, and while it's true you could have virus-infected files within those zips, any decent virus scanner should scan within archives and catch them.
What is Spybot encrypting, according to Aladdin?"If you doubt that an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters would eventually produce the combined works of Shakespeare, consider: it only took 30 billion monkeys and no typewriters." - UnknownComment
