Hi
Just one question: Will installing and running Spybot clean my computer from ErrorSafe and DriveCleaner?

They pop up every time I try to enter some sites like Freewebs but they have noting to do with these sites. Everytime I have to close the browser down with ctrl-alt-del to avoid installing the application... Verry anoying! :mad:

I'm greatfull for any help on this! :heart:

Hello.

ErrorSafe and DriveCleaner are in our detections, however, having both indicates the computer could be quite infected.

Please follow the procedure in this link:
"BEFORE you POST" Mandatory Steps Before Requesting Assistance (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) which includes running Spybot-S&D in safemode.

Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) where a helper will analyse the logs requested and advise you.

Cheers. :)

Thanks for the reply, even if it worries me a bit that my computer might have so bad problems.

I installed AdAware to try to fix the problem. Should I remove it before installing Spybot? I don't whant to create any kind of conflikt in my system.

I'm not an expert, so I hesitate to comment. But I can say that I've had AdAware and Spybot installed on my machine for a long time now (together with several other antispyware scanners) and have observed no 'conflict' problems at all. I believe they're very commonly used together, and I know of no reason for uninstalling AdAware before you install Spybot.

Good luck.

and I know of no reason for uninstalling AdAware before you install Spybot. Agreed. :)
