Any suggestions on how I can down load the new MS AntiSpy ware when IE has a virus that redirects me away from the MS site? MS will NOT down load to a Netscape Browser. Use Mozilla Firefox Microsoft Anti spyware will not removes viruses. anti-spyware, not anti-virus. Virus scanners AVG Free -- Anti virus scanner Trend Micro Housecall -- Online anti virus scanner. Anti spy/malware Microsoft Antispyware -- Anti spyware scanner. Windows XP Home and Professional only. Spybot Search & Destroy -- Anti spyware scanner Adaware SE Personal -- Anti spyware scanner Firewalls Use both a hardware and software firewall. Be advised as dual software firewalls may cause problems ZoneAlarm Free -- Free firewall - more user friendly Sygate Personal -- Free firewall - more configuration options Removal tools The following files are not substitutes for the ones DESCRIBED above. They are EITHER diagnostic tools or removal tools for malware of a certain kind HijackThis -- Manual malware remover. Post the HijackThis log generated only if requested! McAfee Stinger -- Virus removal tool. No substitute for a fully functional virus scanner! CWshredder -- CoolWebSearch removal tool. Widely known and persistant Hijacker.I guess I do not know if the IE Redirect problem is a Virus, or Spyware. Re: Mozilla, I guess that I will have to download and INSTALL it in order to clean up the problem?? I have run Norton AV several times including in Safe Mode twice and it finds no more virus'. Any ideas? Thanks, DaveThe reason Mozilla Firefox was suggested is becuase Internet Explorer has been foudn to be very unstable. A MUCH better browser exists... Becuase mozilla Firefox has few problems, many people favor it over other browsers... Try installing it. You will be much happier later [glb]Flame[/glb] Quote I guess I do not know if the IE Redirect problem is a Virus, or Spyware. Then download a different spyware or virus scanner.JagRacer.......

I have the Disk and Product Key. I am not able to "Validate" my software on the MS site as they require before downloading the Beta Antispyware, or any of the other tools that they have such as the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" I was able to down load the programs on my laptop, but the problem is on my desktop and when I try to copy them to this computer it does NOT let me copy them.

If you were able to Download it to your desktop ...you should be able to click on the ........... setup for M/S antispyware icon and it will install. dl65 Hi dl65 I have NOT been able to DL ANYTHING to my desktop machine. I did DL to my Laptop but can not copy or More the programs to the Desktop. I can not get the Verification SW to work with even the Mozilla Browser on the Desktop (infected) machine. I got a response to a query to MS that indicated that the Verification was not fully implemented and that you could get to a dialog box that allowed you to skip the verification step, but I have NOT been able to find this. Any ideas? Thanks, DaveYou will have to remove the infestation first before you think of activating the product! Can you not install any of the programs I have supplied you with? What kind of error message do you receive when you attempt to copy files? What if you copy applcations onto a CD-R(W) and then install them without MOVING the installer to the Hard Disk Drive? JagRacer....... So is your desktop infected with bugs ......or is this something which occurred after the 25 th of July ? let us know dl65 |
