Ok, last Saturday I was searching and downloading Nintendo 64 roms. A lot of the site where pure bulls**t and just kept sending me in a circle to other sites, making you click their stupid "Vote" buttons, then supplying no roms. Anyway I went through a lot of sites. Somewhere in there a spyware app installed itself.

What the app does is install some retarded "clock sync" app, "whenUsearch" app, "EARN" app, and "purityscan". Also one very disturbing thing is my home page is always reset to some crappy search site, even if I delete all history, cookies and set the home page to something like yahoo.com. Its very frustrating, I also noticed some memorywatch program in my add/remove list. I can delete the "clock sync" app there but not the other apps, they don't appear. Also it seems that opening sites takes longer, a lot of ad windows open and my active window randomly go's inactive for seamingly no reason.

Needless to say this really piss's me off, I wish I could beat the basturd that wrote this covert s**t application.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

(on a lighter note I did actually get some pretty good games)

Also it is possible the IE default homepage has been registry tinkered as well

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain

Then change it to whatever you please.. also in the "main" key is your search bar/search page (that thing you get when you mistype a URL), if any of those need changing as well.

Thanks, you guys are a big help.

The miscolored post was me trying to highlight the important coments, a lot of people see a long post and just skip it.

If you read all but the white text its a simplified version of what I'm trying to say.

Thanks again, hopefully removing the covert apps wont be too difficult (crossing fingers)

AWESOME!!! All the apps are gone, worked great!!!!

Thanks again.
