Re: Ad Ware- Spy Ware Removal

Do you have a firewall too? Are you updating all your security programs weekly?

this bar might be associated with the NING network which EC uses

I believe you are correct. This is where the notice showed up.

Not sure if I will continue with Vista as there are so many Windows updates taking a lot of space and TIME!
I do run my Antivirus each week and have it all set for auto updates etc.

Thanks for all your help Prax.

Yes I got it at vBulletin site.

I haven't received any viruses thank goodness. I'm always running scans.Just recently having these problems showing up. Hubby's computer and our laptops are all fine. Just a glitch in mine that I'm trying to track down. I don't like it when things don't work correctly. Hopefully I wont crash it completely. It's still under warranty. ( til Jan)

Great. Is your virus scanner paid? Eventually if you don't renew they stop getting updates. Also you need to update the spyware scanner weekly too

Dont for get to run a fully updated spybot Search and Destroy in safe mode without networking.

Also see if simbar is in your add remove program list and remove it (after running spybot)

Re: Ad Ware- Spy Ware Removal

I can't get my Windows Updates installed. Don't understand why. I do have good virus protection and all the bells and whistles with AVG. Mostly my Windows IE and security updates that won't install.

Got the new version of Spy-Bot and Ad Ware now installed without any problems. Ran all the scans and immunized. All is clear. I will run SD in safe mode today probably.
I don't particularly like the Spybot-Resident that is part of SD but it is a good feature I'm sure for protection.

Does anyone know what a tracking cookie is?

Don't install tea timer.

BTW a tracking cookie is a text document websites place on the pc to track what other pages you have visited
