[amibroker] Off Topic: spyware/adware removal

["john gibb" <jgibb1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Anyone else having problems removing adware/spyware threats from their PCs?

I am using Symantec's Norton AnitVirus 2003, which scans my XP Home PC every
week and, each time lately, reports 400 or so of these threats:

    Dialer.Tibs
    Adware.Lop
    Adware.Ipinsight
    Adware.WhenU
    Adware.Cydoor

It recommends I delete them, which I attempt to do but they won't delete.
(It then gives me an opportunity to Exclude them from future scans, which I
have been reluctant to do.)

I have tried following some of the removal instructions on the Symantec web
site, involving starting XP in the safe mode, removing registration keys,
etc. but to no avail.

Anyone have a recomendation?

thanks

-john
