Good Job :thumbup:

use Add/Remove Programs and remove Ewido unless you want to keep it. It's only a 14 day trial version.

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D

So how did I get infected in the first place?

You need to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection. Click here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa…p1/default.mspx

Hey. This clean feeling seems to be good. I downloaded some freeware but seems that they brought me lots of virus/trojans… I would like to thank you, very much for your patience and expertise. From where you angels come from? There seems to be a lot of people trying to spy on me. Also some don't like Mr. Bill Gates. Right! I'm going to read the article you advised me. Thank you, one more time. Claudio778
