I have been cleaning up following a spyware problem, with the help of someone on this forum named Tomk (see our thread:
http://forums.whatth...rs_t95607.html). We've pretty much cleared everything up except I still can not access certain websites, including this one. Basically any site that would serve helpful to me in ridding me of the spyware issues is unaccessible. Every program I had to download, I did so wth another computer and a flashdrive. Everytime I've been on WhatTheTech, it's also been on another computer. I wouldn't mind so much, except Tomk tried to have me do an internet scan, but I can't access any of the sites he suggested. I also can't update some of my newly installed helpful programs because they can't access their sites. The only other site I haven't been able to access, non-tech related, is my bank's site.
So, I'm wondering if there is any way of finding what's doing this and fixing it. I guess it's not showing up on any kind of scans I'm doing (again, look at my thread with Tomk's help). The problem is the same on all browsers I've tried (Firefox, IE, Chromeo).
IT may also have something to do with the fact that I've begun getting Spyware popups again through my browser, despite my computer otherwise seeming to be clean. They don't seem too harmful yet, as I shut the windows/tabs immediately, but I fear these popups could eventually restart the whole spyware problems I began with.
Thanks very much in advance for any help or suggestions.
