    Okay,

    Just wondering, but what programs make good spyware programs? I use Add-Aware and Spybot... Add-Aware is okay... but spybot is sometimes weird... I ALWAYS find the following with spybot

    And even if I start scanning again 5 minutes later, I still get them and fix them <.< It's not like I'm visiting any sites during this time oO

    Adaware and Spybot are the best... if you keep getting those, you may have malware.

    get Ewido, it is a 30-day trial, but it will delete and detect all malware..

    I use ZoneAlarm Pro + Virus scans and still get same thing, I'm going to use that program you said O_O

    It's weird how you get same thing as me when we probably don't go to the same forums =p except for GR of course..
