spyware=BAD!

the way to really get rid of it is usully running a virus scan on ur comp that usully pikes it up so if ur gonna be home along for a few hours run ur anti virus and it should catch it...if it dosent im sry but im nto sure how to get rid of it :$...i know thers like spybot i think its called...spybot catches it i THINK hope u can get it off :S

Pop down to PC World or whatever computer shops they have in Canada. You can get really decent spyware removers. Mine cost £30 and it's worked ever since and we used to have a real problem with spyware.

See the sticky in Techjunkies forum for more info

google for adaware and for spybot. download and install both of them. i run them about once a week. they find alot of stuff

That blows. You should get some kind of protection, however. Sorry, its late and I can't provide good advice.

Yikes!
First of all - DONT WHATCH PORN (that will solve half of your problems)

Second of all - If you have norton anti virouse than simply run it do spyware check and let it go. Somtimes computers will do it's own spyware/viruse check. Or try buying a software for that. Tell your parents that your friend got spyware but clicking on an attachment that he sent you and you clicked it to so just ask them how to do a scan, that should help



(Remeber what I said about the porn! pm if you need help)

Just view this sticky (clicky) (http://virtualteen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4901). That will tell you all you need to know about removing spyware and whatnot and protecting your computer for the future :)

A good antivirus (Norton for example) will check for more than just viruses :P
