I've gotten a complete deluge of pop ads and browsers redirections lately, and I know there are quite a few things floating around in my system like this istsvc.exe and that annoying Lycos sidebar that doesn't seem to go away.
I tried using Trend Micro's housecall and AdAware to get rid of any junk, but every time I turn on the computer all the data miners and malwares, etc seem to repopulate themselves. Some things AdAware was having trouble deleting so I even tried running it in safe mode, but that also didn't work very well.
Any suggestions? Maybe one of them Symantec programs would be more potent? Thanks!
