Spyware

Please can anyone help. My computer is running really really slow. I have norton security for my virus protection and it doesnt normally find anything. I also have ad-aware and also spybot search & destory. I have recently run spybot through and it keeps finding spyware daily. I click to fix them yet when I do it again they seem to be there again.

here are the ones it has found so far,

Avenue A,INC
Double Click
Fast Click
Hitbox
Malware Alarm
Media Plex
Statcounter
Tradedoubler
Clickbank

I am not really an expert on computers, I know a little. I understand that these are cookies but I am not sure if they are really doing any damage.

PLEASE HELP GET RID OF THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL

My computer is only a year old and it has megga amount of speed and memory (well I think so) and yet it runs so slow
Thanks

Use the clear files and Unnecessary files buttons – I do not recommend
using the Duplicates files button as many dupes are there on purpose.

Not all files will delete – that is normal.

In the unnecessary button I check the top 4 entries



See if that helps and if not we'll look at the hijack log
