My list of spyware/adware removing helpers

[Hellfighter]

Top of my list:
1.) Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File freebie
2.) The spy-killer Freebie
3.) wilderssecurity.com forum tech support Freebie

support: Spybot - Search & Destroy, Ad-aware 6.0, HijackThis,
x-clean, not only that with HijackThis with the info the tech-support there can tell you if you have a virus in your system be sides, ad-ware/spyware crap. you run HijackThis.exe and post all the info in their forum in area listed Spybot - Search & Destroy log file/Hijackthis log file, the tech will check it out and tell you what you need to check off on and the next you know your good to go.

have seen them told other they have a virus and they need to run virus scan to remove it to-boot.

if i was you i'll run that Spybot - Search & Destroy.exe or HijackThis.exe after save the info on text file what it found post it up in their (copy & past it in a posting) forum the tech will look it over and see what you have as in ad-ware/virus and other nasty things we all don't like to have. after they tell you to rerun HijackThis or Spybot - Search & Destroy. and check off items click on fix it your done. or they may tell you "your system is good to go nothen at all is needed to be done to it"

kewl my teacher had over 30 spyware progs in cookies. 10 made it to the registry.

they have one item it completly stop all adware cookies from being reloaded in stop it dead. its a text file call: host you replace the one you have all of them socall cookies that are adware type get blocked.

Link of adware who get blocked:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt

Home page:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

not only that you can update it as you like to as in check see if they have it updated or you add a new name to the list

You can use a HOSTS file to block ads, banners, cookies, web bugs, and even most hijackers. This is accomplished by blocking the Server that supplies these little gems. Example - the following entry 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by the DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing. This also prevents the server from tracking your movements.

Now includes most major parasites, hijackers and unwanted Search Engines!

In many cases this can speed the loading of web pages by not having to wait for these ads, banners, hit counters, etc. to load. This also helps to protect your Privacy by blocking servers that track your viewing habits, known as "click-thru tracking". Another feature of the HOSTS file is it's ability to block other applications from connecting to the Internet, as long the the entry exists.

Editors Note: As time has progressed the focus of this project has changed from blocking ads/banners to protecting the user from the many parasites that now exist on the Internet. It doesn't serve much purpose if you block the ad banner from displaying, but get hijacked by a parasite from an evil script or download contained on the web site. The object is to surf faster while preserving your Safety, Security and Privacy. [more info]

so go there and check them out.
========================
you know what i had some would things it has a cookie that got to the reg, but it was 2 freaking .dll file that was doing it all every time i rebooted they would reload roings crap back into the reg, ad-aware,spybot, no then would stop it at all. not till i gone to a site we some tech hang out at found what was really going on told me to use HiJackThis.exe they told me to run and put the info into a thread, so they can see what it is going on? then after they read the info they told me to check off some new items and send them a copy of the dll to them so they add them to their Avp data base to remove these item on other people system. it was a new updated rolings no one heard of or know of it.
