Click to expand...

Just keep scanning till they actually finish.
 
neither malware bytes or superantispyware found anything.

whats odd is my sister had the same type of spyware......spybot said it was gonna run after a reboot it didnt. i added more ram to her computer started it up spybot ran and found it and deleted it.

could i take ram out leave one stick in and boot up run spybot and it could delete it possible?

how do i run hijack this?? lol. do i just press analyze?

UPDATE

i found the file and manually deleted it. rebooted computer and ran spybot and its not finding it so it sounds like all is good.
 
MyWebSearch is an easy one yanked in add/remove programs.

It's just a browser toolbar from Fun Web.
 
yeah spybot told me the name of the file and it was indeed in add remove programs...........i found the folder and deleted it. thanks for the help guys!
