Try running the antispyware from safe mode.

I was going to suggest MS anti-spyware myself, only the Accessibility Barrier was giving me great reservations. I do use it, but undoubtedly don't by any means derive its full potential.

Hi Brian,
Although not entirely accessible as yet, Microsoft's own anti-spyware scores very highly in my book.
What I especially like about it is that it is interactive, in so much as if spyware hit you, it traps it there and then. With ALL other packages, you only find out if you have spyware when you run a scan.
However, be aware that some spyware can only be removed manually. That said, if one program fails to remove it, it pays to Google for a dedicated solution.
George.

Hi I am trying to gauge people's opinion on the best spyware package to use these days? Do people still think ad-aware is good? My wife has some spyware on her computer which launches one of two sites: Zeno and Monster, both of which seem to display advert pages within internet explorer. I have run Ad-Aware several times and removed various spyware off the machine, but it's not disappearing as yet. Short of re-building the PC which for several reasons I am reluctant to do, from an accessibility point of view I wonder which program rates highly with list members? If it costs, I don't mind if it will do the job.
Thanks.
