How do I get rid of spyware on my computer?
Q. I have Yahoo anti spyware and another program. The virus that I was infected with disables both programs and I am unable to scan and remove this virus(es). It also disables me from using ctrl alt del. When I do a serch on google for virus or spyware removal programs whatever results I find, clicking on the link takes me to some dummy website. Help Please!

Did you try Kaspersky Internet security 2009? This version will kills all types of spy-ware and viruses.
It sounds like TDSS trojan, I had recently. It blocks most online scanner sites. Download SDFix from here if you can: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/sdfix.php
If not, do a Google search then click on “cached” instead of the usual link. Or download it from another computer and save to a thumb drive. Go into Safe Mode and run the install and the program from there. It found all traces on my computer.
Once it’s done download and install Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware from here: http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button
to clean more traces.
If you can’t run SDFix, or Anti-Malware, go to the Malwarebytes folder in the Program Files, copy all the files to a new folder called MAM in the root directory….. C:MAM Then in that folder rename the file MBAM.exe to something else like MAM.exe and double click it – it should run now.
Good Luck !

Get Spybot: Search & Destroy and CCleaner from Download.com.
AV software is usually very poor at removing spyware.
You are infected with spyware if:
* You see too much pop-up advertisements.
* Your browser has toolbars that you haven’t installed.
* Your homepage has changed (and you can’t change it back).
* Other settings have changed without your permission.
* Your computer is slow.
To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you can use an antispyware or even more.
