Fragmentation, anyone?

Posts: 7/24		 I have FireFox on my PC and I do spyware checks every now and then on it. Most of the time, it says that there are no infections yet I can tell it's been running noticably slower than it did AFTER re-formatting it. I wonder why that is.

Posts: 116/252		 Not really... there are alot of sites that have it for no reason such has for example i was looking up old bikes (some of the first made 1920 era)i get redirected to it, if thats my fault then I dont know what the internets use is for if everytime you log on to something and end up with shit.

Posts: 3/5		 I don't have firefox on this computer... I don't even have ad-aware or any of the stuff I usually download onto friends' computers when I fix their adware problems...

I never get any spyware either. If you get spyware, it's your own damn fault.

Posts: 103/252		 Its true but Firefox can prevent 90% of it

Posts: 2/24		 Computers getting infected with spyware is becoming a natural cause actually... I've already had to re-format my computer like what? 3 or 4 times because of this? It just comes to show you that no PC is entirely "spyware safe" no matter what kind of protection you have on there.

They use spyware to observe what people do on their computers in order to figure out what people want. They find this information to create more scams and in a way, it's a brilliant marketing plan but agonising to the victims unfortunate enough to encounter heavy, useless, cacamesh ads.


I think it should be shut down its a dirty way of doing it!, sure its making them rich but its crashing poor peasents like us forshame on them!

That's my situation. I had the same virus and McAfee couldn't scan it. I think it's w32.Bloodhound causing the problem. I had SpySheriff and it takes a long time to exit. Then the desktop resets to a crappy, "You have Spyware!" background. I tried formatting and my hd died. Luckily I have some backup files. I feel ya guys, it sucks.

Posts: 55/252		 Yeah I just formated it in the morning im at school right now, When I get home ill install windows again and reinstall all my variouse programs should take me 2 hours at the most. (What a great way to start off the weekend eh?)

Posts: 49/709		 Not worth the time, I say wipe it out then prevent the problem from happening again.
Aurxix
Posts: 52/252		 ONe way THAT WORKS but takes lonng, is booting in safe mode and finding these files and deleteing them yourself and taking it out of regestry and downloading firefox.
Kingpin
Posts: 48/709		 Again, my dad did that too. He installed SpySheriff on the new hd, then he actually let me fix it for him. I also told him to get AdAware and Spybot before Bearshare this time.
