Hey I got hit with spyware, not quite sure how it happened. I was remote desktopping from work, downloading a MiRC file via packetnews.com. I minimized the RDC window and checked it about a half hour later. On my remote desktop, there was popups everywhere, and Windows had a bunch of messages saying it has stopped malicious code from running.
My usual spyware busting combo is SpyBot and AdAware, and it has worked flawlessly for me in the past. This time, SpyBot found some stuff and cleared it out. AdAware finds about 300 things but when it is running, Explorer crashes, and Windows said it stopped a program called runasdll.exe from running. This always happens at the same point in the spyware search. Adaware runs, but then during the quartining part, it freezes.
I have tried running these programs in safe mode and the same thing happens. I have never had this much trouble with spyware. There are new programs in the "Add/Remove Programs" list and I was able to uninstall half of them but some of them when I try to uninstall, a browser window pops up. Please someone help me out.
