What is the name of the spyware you are trying to remove, James? What program is it in so the rest of us can avoid it, if you don't mind sharing?

Sounds like it might be Web3000 or Cydoor. Web3000 is a real problem because it changes things in WinSock and deletes needed shared resources when it is removed. Even Ad Aware cannot delete and clean it completely but the program usually tells you this. I understand the newest version can handle it most of the time but I haven't had to try, thank heavens! You might like to update your Ad Aware and give that a try.

I had problems once with an incomplete Cydoor removal after the program it was attached to was removed. I contacted Cydoor support for help but nothing they suggested worked either and I ended up having to reformat because it would not allow me to do anything.

IMHO spyware should be totally outlawed and the law should eliminate the loophole that says, if it's part of the program, they don't have to tell you before puchase. If it's an add-on they must tell you on the box. Stupid lawmakers can't even do their job right when they do finally try.

Good luck, James.
