[Shakezilla]

Ok I am so pissed. My comp is pretty new and now I am getting these for same pop-up randomly. Norten finds htem but wont delete them(wtf!!!!) I do not know how to delete them but here is the info on them any information will be apreciated, I hope you guys can save my ass and comp. ANd I also would prefer not to d/l any free adware removal programs I am very paranoid of them.


dac.dll
C:\Windows\System\dac.dll
Adware.MainSearch

ipin32.dll
C:\Program Files\Sbc Yahoo!\COnnection Manager\IP Insight\ipin32.dll
Adware.Ipinsight
(Is this not adware and just something from SBC that Norten thinks is adware?)

NPYMYWAY.DLL
C:\Program Files\My Way\myBar\1.bin\NPMYWAY.dll
Adware.MyBar

Read this thread (http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=766094) , it will also direct you to some handy spyware removal tools.

I've found that all of the tools that advertise as removing spyware never remove it all. So when I reboot there is one or two programs that didn't get deleted by adaware/spybot that download a shitload on new spyware.

The only solution I've come up with to remove it all is to boot into safe mode and delete all of the associated spyware keys from the registry, clear out your Internet temp directories, delete the programs from \Windows and \Program Files. This will take you a good amount of time.

The second option is to do a system restore back to a know good state. This is the quickest and works great.
