stupid spyware...

Postby Slater » Mon Oct 11, 2004 10:50 pm

1. some progie is randomly putting this url into my clipboard every single day... about once every 2 hours...
it is: http://master.mx-targeting.com/mx/servl ... ult%26c%3D{6C68EA99-15CE-4189-9B15-3B374FE381B3}%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldmyexe%3D1%26olda180%3D1%26oldsah2%3D1%26oldavatar%3D1%26oldsah3%3D1%26olde2give%3D1%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldmyexe%3D1%26olda180%3D1%26oldbb%3D1%26oldsah2%3D1%26oldsah3%3D1%26olde2give%3D1%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldmyexe%3D1%26oldbb%3D1%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldmyexe%3D1%26oldbb%3D1%26oldnhoro%3D1%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldmyexe%3D1%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldocx18%3D1%26oldocx1

... I don't know what program keeps doing this...

2. I have some spyware on my comp that Spybot S&D can't get rid of, called VX2/h (or was it V2X/h ?)

to tell the truth, I've actually been using that site to bust my spywares a lot lately... however, it seems to fail me some times... like now. however, I do realize how powerful regestry-busting is... I do that more often than I S&D

try ad-ware from lavasoftusa.com or download.com. THey have a free verison that is really good. Also HijackThis is also good. It searches your registry for possible hijacks.

Heeey I have exactly the same problen, something that hijacks my clipboard... *irritating*.. ad-aware does not help, nor spywareguard(it came after I installed that)

VX2 - got it removed with adaware, but it keeps coming back.. (if they're free)

But Ill try RegCleaner and HijackThis... and regblock, and xblock

btw: spywareguard did remove the irritating hijack of startpage changing to best-buy pages all the time


*where do they come from* argh

Edit note:

I got it removed!!!

1. install adaware
3. disconnect your internett connection(adsl modem)
4. restart
5. rud ad-aware(mine started automatically)
6. restart
7. connect your internett, and hopefully you're free... for a time...
