    Need help gettin rid of spyware!

    So yea, my computer doesnt like me right now. I let my sister use it for a day and I get it back and its cluttered with spyware and crap. I have tried everything to get it off, I tried adaware, spybot, I tried starting up in safe mode and deleting files. I get crazy popups, and all of my system ram gets used up. When I ctrlaltdlt i see some programs that I have never seen before, and when i terminate them they just come right back up and use uber amounts of ram

    KlTj.exe
    Ntqjg05h.exe
    INfIn73.exe

    ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!

                      have you tried a virus scanner? perhaps they are not being picked up by those programs because they're not adware or spyware. most spy/adware are from semi-legit companies. their exe files are generally named after the company or their particular program for hosting ads. so to me those filenames sound more like viruses.

                          start > run

                          Type msconfig

                          click on the "services" tab and look for those programs. If they are checked, un-check them. Then go to the "startup" tab and do the same thing.

                          Then restart.


                          That may help.
                          If there are any adverse sideffects, you can go back and re-activate them using the same procedure.

                                  those random file names look viral. Did you make sure you were wearing a condom??

                                      I found that Spybot worked really well, but it didn't get everything. I assume that you updated Spybot before you ran it?
                                      Check out Webroot's Spysweeper. That picks up a few things that Spybot seems to miss. It's what finally let me get all of the spyware off of a buddy's computer. Spybot wouldn't get rid of Hotbar, but Spysweeper did.

                                      A free trial can be found here:

                                          Try CWShredder AKA Coolwebsearch trojan remover...

                                          You can most likely find it by searching google

                                          Only other recomendation is that you run a full system scan with an up to date virus removal software...I would recomend either Norton of McAfee.
