BIIIIIIIG PROBLEM!!

Use some other spyware. I have Adaware and Spybot, and one finds some spyware the other can't.

If you use windows, try "ctrl+alt+del"ing and closing the spyware (if you know the name - don't close something that windows needs

). Then run the scan again, and it you should be able to delete it. I had the problem once and it worked for me.

Yeah. Make sure you have Ad-Aware and Spybot installed and UPDATED. I cant stress enough how important it is to make sure both are up to date. And if the file is in use, Ad-Aware has a thing where once the computer reboots, as its getting into windows, it halts everything from loading until it finishes a scan and gets rid of the spyware that could be in use while windows is fully running. Ive had to use that a few times and its worked well.

And I'm very partial to AdAware. So perhaps both would be in order...

Ya, Dyne was kinda with me...over MSN while i did it. I think it might be a Trojan or something (i dont know what that is, but it could be it) ...But my dad says he has tricks. Its prolly him just smashing the computer until it goes away. Lol
