Run your PC in safe mode and run the anti-virus then..

explanation: the spyware is made to recreate itself upon deletion from a different location, running in safe-mode will block this process from happening. (HOPEFULLY)

spyware doctor sucks.

try running adaware and spybot S&D in safe mode. if that doesn't fix things you might need to use norton or mcafee. You said you tried avg, though?

i use spy sweeper from webroot and i never have any problems. most of it is knowing what not to click or open though. spy sweeper is about $50 bucks a year and is worth it imo.

Do that and you also may need to clean up the registry by hand. If there are any weird site names or file names related to those things you mentioned search your registry for them.

Usually virus/spyware/adware removal programs don't clean ALL of that up in my experience.:ohwell:

thanks all but...

1. Not paying for virus and spyware removal. So i need a free one. Unless it comes down to it, then i'll buy. but prefer not to especially with torrents and all.

2. How do you put in safe mode. like f8 or sumthin.

3. had mcafee at first but it didn't even say anything.

4. i jus did a sweep and have backdoor agents. DirectX dialers, adware, spyware, and trojans. It also says i have infected registry values and keys.

if avg isn't working and you don't want to buy something, there is always the illegal way...

whatever man. enjoy your "adware, spyware, and trojans" or protect your damn computer.

maybe stop opening those "inspiring" and "hysterical" emails your weird aunt keeps sending to you too...

Bitdefender is pretty decent. Also Windows defender if you have a legal copy of Windows.

Restart your computer, and then press f8 as everything is starting up.

are you sure F8 cause i think i remember that. i started it once trying to fix a problem. at the bottom it says hit F8 or another button to bring up settings and shit. But i don't believe their to be a safe mode option.

Yes it is f8.

You can also do it without restarting first by clicking Start, Run and then typeing MSCONFIG, and clicking OK

When the system configuration utility appears, go to the BOOT.INI tab, Check the "/SAFEBOOT" option, and then click OK and Restart your computer when prompted.

well i aint got shit to lose. My computer is all slow and shit. I keep getting pop-ups taking me to all these security sites, trying to get me to buy shit.

another weird thing when i go to google and put in lets say blunt wraps (it can be anything really.) the search results come up normally.

But anytime i click one of the results it takes me to a different website. sometimes e-bay or a car website. differs with each click.

I have to hit the Cached button underneathe to see website without problems..
