I used an restore point (if that the right word, in dutch, Herstelpunt) so everything is back ok! thanks any guys if you have a problem message me, i'm gonna trie to help you out! cu
Yeah multiple anti-spyware programs catch what the others might miss so it's good to have a few. I have Ad Aware and McAfee, Ad Aware is way faster and seems to get it all, but I do have the McAfee just in case.
