Technical help with W32.sillyp2p P L E A S E !

Thanks for your recommendations Grif! I have tried your advice from the first post as well as that which you gave someone else a few days ago. When running these applications and PConPoint, I see where the applications are identifying it in safe mode and deleting it, but it reappears again when I reboot. I tried to view the stuff from Sophos, but I guess you need to be a customer? Has this happened to anyone else, or am I a complete BOOB?

Thank you again!

...and those registry entries are located in the Sophos article. After clicking on the link below, then click on the tabs in the article to see other text. (Description, Recovery, etc.)

But it would help if we knew EXACTLY where the scanners are finding the file...and what the file's name is..

If the file is located in the System Restore volumes, then you'll need to temporarily disable System Restore before scanning again. Here's how to do that:

Hope this helps and let us know more.

Should I break down and buy one of these programs online? I just downloaded NoAdware which found 43 new things, but won't repair unless I register for $30...

I use the free ones in the links below. After downloading and installing the first two, make sure to update them..The third tool doesn't need to be updated at this time.:

Hi there, i found a very good review on Noadware site here:

They reviewed the best anti adware/spyware sites online. It Worths a click!

Although the link Rio posted lists five of it's favorite antspyware programs, each one is on the "rogue" list of programs at the link below. That's NOT a good thing. They ALL have a history of large numbers of false positives and in most cases, they actually install spyware themselves. The only one that has recently been been removed from the rogue list is "pcOrion".

I suggest ignoring anything the site tells you.

Hope this helps.
