Some are really hard to remove. Consider a rebuild if you can't get it out.

II have not yet tried it but look into combo fix from bleepingcomputer, truely an amazing piece of software, i didnt see spybot search and destory, this is a freeware that is amazing and they lock down the host file which is nice. If you wanna block some of that i can send you my host file its modified and will even block 90% of the ads on websites

Thanks Pete GOT the Bastid...(finally) 
was gonna Slam a second hard drive in there
to drag my wanna saves and then format the other if needed
but that space is designated for a SSD drive soon...
any recommendations on a mid ranged priced ssd drive
which i want to use for gaming < specifically> as it's faster
would be greatly appreciated....
as there appears to be a 3.1 gig max ceiling built into
game for memory usage before it CTD's even tho
i have 12 gigs of ram....it doesn't matter...
and that's with a nvidia 560 gtx with direct x 11
problem is the game is based on directX 9 technology |

Highly recommend AVG Free over MS SE for free ones.
Kaspersky overall is best for paid...
Best is to redo the OS every few years anyway

Agreed on the anti virus software John Mentioned above. I have my windows 7 installed since it came out and it hasnt slowed down one bit.
And you couldnt pay me millions to use a mac and say i like it.

Raven try this....
trojans suck..
Another nod for Kaspersky, I use their Internet Security suite..
You can look and get one for free after rebate but be prepared to wait 4-6 months for your $40 check. |
