[97CivicBoy]

yeh so i jus dled spybot...and i'm not too sure how to use it...i did the scan and it found all those red things and i clicked fix problem...then they all turned green..i was reading the tutorial and i'm jsu confused now...is that all i have to do to get rid of popups??? lemme kno thanx

[B16DoHcCrx033003]

if u have kazaa it will ruin it.... it deletes a search program

[MAXed Out]

yeah that's pretty much it. The reason it ruins kazaa is because its spyware.

[pdiggitydogg]

you still should get bazooka (its better for spyware)
I only use spybot for spyware-based cookie deletion

(If you dont want spyware, you should get rid of kazaa asap)

[97CivicBoy]

Have u tried AdAware works for me. But unfortunately my Internet explorer is fucked up.

[AkimboStylee]

get mozilla

[97CivicBoy]

i also have ad aware...i ran that today for teh first time in a while...forgot i had it...but i'm still gettin pop ups or do i have to restart my pc after doing the scan...i'm gonna try bazooka....is it easy to use?

[97CivicBoy]

i'm kinda confused on this program "bazooka" i did the scan and then it directs to otehr sites to DL more crap to uninstall stuff...and now its sayin for me to delte stuff from control panel add/remove...is this all correct it seems like a lenghty process

[pdiggitydogg]

no, they arent downloads
theyre links to instructions on how to manually remove programs via the registry.
as long as you remove what it says (and nothing more) then you'll be fine and all spyware will be removed.
Bazooka is not an automatic program, the user does all the removal work.
you know the saying "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself"

[97CivicBoy]

alotta the stuff they said to look in control panel i did not have...but why is it still comin up in bazooka..i did delte one thign however and then it said to restart my pc and delte somethign else but i did not kno how to....sorry for being such a pain but i didtn realize these popups can fuck u up....thanx pdiggs

I just installed bazooka and ran a scan...3 files found, 2 deleted/removed/otherwise....but then there's this

"Rename %SystemDir%\cpan.dll to %SystemDir%\delme.delme
Note: %SystemDir% is a variable (?). By default, this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP)."

My question is once I'm in safe mode, how to I locate "%SystemDir%\cpan.dll"? Where would this be at?


:help:

[97CivicBoy]

yeh wtf does that mean...this shit is way too much work....and so frustrating..i give up...i hope i didnt delete ne thing valuable...i didtn this was so intense....i'm jus stickin to adaware and spybot....i dunno its 2am i cant do this ne more....:mad:

[GT40FIED]

Bazooka isn't too hard to work if you follow the directions it gives you...but it's almost always giving me the wrong directions unless it's something that can be removed via the "add/remove programs" function in the control panel (everything that requires the registry editor to delete is wrong). It's decent...but not great.

[Rob]

the registry editor shit worked for me....it's the other thing I can't figure out.......

[97CivicBoy]

i got some of the stuff on the registory editor...like i foudn some of the files but not alot of them and i did not find ne files from the control panel menu so i dunno whatsup..hope i didnt delete ne thing i needed...i dunno i'm lost
