Adware Wont Go, Modem Keeps Clicking On And Off

[Harmeet Singh]

I have got some adware on my computer and I can't seem to set a homepage that I want -as everytime I do it, the explorer always open a blank site and a security message pops up from some dialer company.

Also my modem keeps trying to connect to the telephone line even as I am not on dialup network and there is no telephone wire plugged into the modem.

I have tried ad-aware removal,spybot and norton 2004(norton tells me to update my software).

plz help me here.

Try this > www.spywareguide.com

Also, if u no wat it actually is, get rid of it from your registry >

Start > run > REGEDIT

but dont delete anythin that u dont recognise.

thanks for al your responses. I will try that Ranz killa but being ignorant in computers I would like to have something downloaded off the internet.

If I can use that Microsoft version on my Win 98 computer that would be great. Please tell me if that can work.

on the other side i have found these antispywares
