    Angry Spyware resurrects itself even S&D kills it??

    I use Spybot to scan and found the spyware

    then I do the following steps

    1) I turned off the Windows XP 'System Restore' feature
    2) I use S&D "Fix Selected Problems" to deal with those spyware
    3) I also "Immunize" the system
    4) I then restart the computer


    when I return, the spyware is still there?.....

    example of spywares that can resurrects itself
    * Winfixer
    * CoolWWWSearch


    What is Spyware be any good for if it can only detects it but cannot actually dealt with the spyware

    gus4ever:

    I think that it would be prudent to follow Zenobia's advice and post in the Malware Removal forum rather that attempt to follow half a dozen threads in this forum and attempt to apply them to your particular situation.

    Follow the instructions here:

    Then post in the following forum:
