View Full Version : Spy sheriff woes
I was a recent victim of spysheriff. I mannaged to unistall it, which still left 3notices that I had been infected. After a few hours later and a fresh restart the 3 notices are gone but some effects still linger. There is some window that opens for a split second durring start up, bandwith is being syphoned somewhere and when I hit ctrl + alt + del my computer informs me that the administrator has disabled task manager. I am not sure how to get the last few remnants off my machine. I have both spybot and AVG running and neither has been able to beat this. Any help would be great.
Welcome to Safer Networking Forums. Please see the thread linked below for complete instructions. Be sure to create the preliminary HijackThis log and post it along with the other logs as reply to this topic for a final check.
Thank you.
